First I have to comment on the book itself. It is a small book (approx. 6.5 x 6.5") with cheap grade paper inside, unevenly cut so the pages are off center and having uneven borders. The price of the book suggests it should have had a better print and binding job that it does.

Having said that, I move on to the content. The cover suggests 'A book of spells to solve every relationship problem you've ever had' gives me concern. Reviewing the chapter on 'First Sex Trauma", I became even more concerned with the authors focus on the neatness of your partners bedroom. While the note on noticing if he/she stocks the jumbo economy size box of protection is a good one, being concerned about inviting the first timer over to your place should have placed more emphasis on 'Eek! Now he knows where you live'. There is no suggestion of having this first meet at a more mutually advantageous rented room, rather the author comes from the 'your place or my place' option.

I get the feeling that this book did not take itself seriously. The "At-a-glance magic for turning him into a love god' suggests that any man (or woman for that matter) can be instantly turned into the perfect lover. Fact is, some people need to be instructed or need to mature into a good lover and would probably benefit from a good primer on the subject from an accredited doctor or medical institution or from a few sessions with a professional counselor and a doctor. This book does not discuss that in any detail nor does it discuss any other serious issues you may encounter and leaves the reader feeling that the spell work in this book is the cure all for any kinds of issues you might encounter in a relationship.

The total advice to someone who has an 'ex' who is doing some serious stalking is summed up in one line "Savvy solution: Stay safe. Let people know where you are. If she gets dangerous, call the police. Get serious - stalkers can hurt people," and the author proceeds into magical help. While this is good advice, it is not emphasized enough. If the author is going to cover the issues, she should have also suggested seeking professional help should it progress to this kind serious state and should also have gone into more rather than brushing it over, in my opinion, and moving on to magical solutions.

Even the 'romantic' spells are cheesy. The 'spell to reawaken his love' sounded good up till the author suggested YOU watch some 'sex goddess' movies (staring Marilyn Monroe or Brigitte Bardot). This may do something for you, like have you drag out the tissue box 'cause you are not in that kind of relationship, but what does this accomplish for him if he is not there to watch it with you? Or how does this empower you if you don't look like some of these sex goddesses? Sorry, but that didn't do it for me.

All in all, the book lacks depth. If you are in a relationship with someone and you want to enhance it with some magical properties, I believe there are better books by more practical and much more romantic authors out there than this one. The shoddy print job and cheap paper will send you looking for a better book for your money. boudica

This book is a waste of money. She talks about stuff that people should already know. There wasn't very many spells in this book either.

I liked the book, it may have been written for the younger MTV type generation, but there are some things in the book that make it worthwhile,... sort of like the daily affirmations for those who are scared of starting relationships over, and the trauma that can be all consuming at times,...
I think that the author has a neat spin on things and that there is light at the end of the tunnel for all of us by listening to the fact that we may be self-sabotaging!
I liked the book and I enjoyed reading it, although she is right in saying that there is a little magic in all of us althought I don't believe that she portrays that of a true wiccan heart,... I still enjoy reading the little commentaries and thoughts that she has because I feel that it is from her heart or at least someone nearby!
