Book Description

Publication Date: March 1999

It's the Bitch in bed!

"If love is the answer, could you please rephrase the question?" --Lily Tomlin

No more two-week wonders. No more romantic cul-de-sacs. No more saying "Yes" when you mean "No." Don't even pretend you don't know what I'm talking
about.

Your Inner Bitch, that integral, powerful part of you, is essential when you're falling in love, and even more essential when you're falling out of love. Looking for romance? Looking for a date? Looking for a relationship? Let your Inner Bitch be your guide.

"Remember, lust makes you stupid." --Nicole Hollander

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

These tapes address the dating and relationship concerns of women. While the Hilts book provides a focused overview for most of the issues likely to cause anxiety, the Carle tape takes a much more scattershot approach and, unfortunately, is a much weaker product. Carle advocates, as does Hilts, the need to know and stand by one's own values. However, her suggestions on how to do so are buried in a plethora of male bashing, unfocused and poorly explained exercises, and "tips" that often seem manipulative rather than true lifestyle suggestions. There is excellent material here, but one must mine for it. The Inner Bitch, as read by Alyssa Bresnahan, provides a humorous and practical approach to the dating/relationship scene. Hilts advises slowing down, paying close attention to your thoughts, and waiting rather than rushing into old, unsuccessful behaviors. She also addresses such touchy issues as birth control, sex as recreation, and family holidays. Both tapes take the view that consenting adults can decide what is right for them. The Inner Bitch is highly recommended to public libraries that serve people who date or seek successful relationships. Don't Bet on the Prince! is not recommended.AKathleen Sullivan, Phoenix P.L.

5.0 out of 5 stars required reading for women before dating, May 25, 2008

This review is from: The Inner Bitch Guide to Men, Relationships, Dating, Etc., 2E (Paperback)

I made this book required reading for my teenage daughter before she was allowed to date. Yes, some of the advice is obvious, but too often we raise our daughters to be "nice" at the expense of just having good sense. The title suggests that this book would contain a lot of man-bashing, but the truth is that Hits attacks some of the exact female behavior that also makes most men crazy. Like--why don't you just say what you want instead of politely waiting for the man to guess what you want and then pouting when he doesn't get it right? This book is full of no-nonsense common sense written in a shoot-from-the-hip style with lots of cartoons and plenty of humor. An entertaining read, but also full of good advice.

This review is from: The Inner Bitch Guide to Men, Relationships, Dating, Etc., 2E (Paperback)

I downloaded the audiable version of this book because it was listed under comedy. It is not a comedy. I didn't laugh at all. It is the same as most dateing books. Basically I can sum the entire book as this, Be your self don't fake who you are or lie, and honestly ask for what you want. That in my mind isn't a bitch that is assertive and honest.

A great book for women who are tired of being walked on and unsure how to appropriately proceed. This is a comical book and to the point. It makes for a great gift.
