This review is from: Sex and the Single Mom: The Essential Guide to Dating, Mating, and Relating (Paperback)

The title and topic are great. It's not easy returning to the dating scene once you become a single mom (either by choice or through divorce). It would be great to have a good book on the topic but this is not that book. The book just didn't contain any information that you really wouldn't have thought of on your own and it didn't help in other ways such as being funny or providing support, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, funny, uplifting with GREAT advise!, October 19, 2010

This book is a gem! I only wish I'd found it earlier in my dating life. It's like having the funniest, most supportive, and wisest girlfriend with you at all times. Tons of great tips on navigating dating as a single mom, on feeling fabulous about yourself, avoiding pitfalls.... If your a single mom (or even a single gal without kids), this book will arm you with feel-good, feel-strong, heart warming advise to get you through the rough patches. Love it.
