This wonderfully piquant and witty book would be worth the price for its humor alone, but its filled with insight into the relationship between the authors and, hilariously at times, their men. Women from every walk of life will have no trouble seeing themselves in these two amusing sisters who write with a knowing candor. And men who want to "get" women should read this as if it were a training manual. They'll learn a lot about the way we think. And think we do as the Lederman sisters so ably demonstrate.

If you think this is a book only for sisters, think again. Warmth, conviviality and joie de vivre galore, this is your chance to re-establish "female bonding" with all your girl friends.

At once amusing and poignant, reading this book reminds you of late nights and popcorn, pajama parties and laughing over the men in your life with a gaggle of friends. Slip into your cozy slippers and get your phone within reach. "Letters" is one book you are going to want to read to your best friend from.

Eve Lederman's book "Letters From My Sister" is a lovingly illuminating work that pulls no punches and rings true to the heart. As I read "Letters From My Sister" I felt instant love and incredible stimulation from the author's wickedly insightful observations about life, men and relationships. Eve Lederman's book carries us on a wild headlong plunge into her life as she relates the incredibly funny and intensely felt experiences of the Lederman sisters. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a breathtaking ride through the emotionally volatile maze of New York life by a knowing and gracefully gifted writer.

I was reading my copy of Letters on the subway when I found the woman next to me leaning in closer and closer. Nor was she the least big apologetic about invading my space, and literally reading in what amounted to be my lap. "Gee," she exclaimed. "That sounds exactly like MY family!" It's that kind of a book, I guess. Once YOU pick it up, no one ELSE can put it down!

This book is entirely too funny. The Lederman sisters' adventures with dates, life in the big city and on campus, and family relationships will resonate with everyone who's been through it, or wants to. A great gift for your best friend, your sister, or for yourself. Read it aloud and laugh.
