Love: A Celebration of One of the Four Basic Guilt Groups [Paperback]

Cathy Guisewite (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2001

"I guess if anything I've ever written could cause them to one day remove the fluorescent lights from the swimwear department, then I've lived a full life." --Cathy Guisewite in Biography magazine

Cathy is like a longtime friend who shares the same fears and frustrations as most women: the frightening sight of too-tight swimsuits in a dressing room mirror, the relentless call of the refrigerator, and men who are never quite right.

This gift book is based on one of Cathy's most popular subjects: Food. Cathy is a cartoon soul mate, who stresses over the four basic guilt group. Readers will find comfort, solace, and lots of laughs.

This review is from: Love: A Celebration of One of the Four Basic Guilt Groups (Paperback)

Never before had I read the trials and tribulations of love in the way Cathy Guisewite described it in the introduction of this little book. Because of Dad's love for his daughter and the later reinforcement of the fairy tales we read as children, we as women are programed to find love. Social changes and circumstances, however, have disappointed us. It's disconcerting to find out that there are so many losers out there and you have to search far and wide amongst the frogs for that elusive prince on a white horse. But we never give up, because love is always worth another shot. We have hope, if nothing else.
