Review
The New York Times Like Dorothy Parker, Ms. Heimel is an urban romantic with scathing X-ray vision that penetrates her most deeply cherished fantasies.
Roy Blount, Jr. No boy should go out with a girl until she has read this book. It goes without saying that he should read it, too. I'm not bragging or anything, but I read parts of it twice.
Michael Goldberg San Francisco Chronicle This book (like sex itself) is both funny and serious, which is why it's such an instant classic.
Liz Smith Cynthia [Heimel] is one of the authentic new humorists of our time, plus she is nice, sensible, your true sister under the skin. Sex Tips for Girls is for everyone, even boys, and nobody said older women shouldn't read it either. Thank God!
Emily Vernon New York Daily News Heimel here is funny, smart, sympathetic, vulnerable, perceptive, and witty.
Michele Ross The Atlanta Journal Read this book. Please. It's the funniest, sassiest, truest book about men and women on the market.

As a man eavesdropping, hilarious, accurate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex Tips For Girls (Paperback)
I first read this book about ten years ago not long after I had graduated from college. My eye was caught by a rather provacative cover. I randomly picked a page and before having finished the first paragaph, was laughing out loud. I quickly chose another section of the book and likewise was again laughing out loud.
Moreover, her understanding of my sex was uncanny. There was great pleasure knowing that a woman so unearringly
had captured the masculine psyhe. For years afterward when I would find myslef in a difficult phase in a relationship, I would reread the book. This never failed to give me faith
that is was possible for a man and woman to truly umderstand each other.

Zen And The Art Of Cynthia Heimel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex Tips For Girls (Paperback)
In the fit of a boy depression, a very good friend, and
fellow chick, handed me this book. I expected sappy,
slightly erotic stories. I got not only good advice, but
an instant pick me up that works still.
Heimel writes for no generation of women but for all real
women. If you want it all, but know you'll never be able to
handle it, or if you want to get married and have kids, but
know you'll keep your sense of self along the way, this is
for you. It's not for those out there who loose themselves
in relationships (and like it), but those who want reminders
on how not to do that.
It's also good for those times when dating seems just too
much. Read this and you'll remember what it's all about.

Still Crazy After All These Years,
By
This review is from: Sex Tips For Girls (Paperback)
During my freshman year of college one of my friends gave me this book for my birthday. I was slightly shocked to receive it, but after one week it was well worn through by nearly every girl on our floor. It wasn't really so much about sex but more about being a single woman and dealing with things like being boy crazy and whining about the lack of quality men.
Two years later, when I turned 21, my older brother gave me this book for my birthday. And then two years after that, I saw it in a Munich bookstore in the very slim English books section. Obviously it was a popular book. As other reviewers have pointed out, the material is somewhat dated. It's still quite a fun read. If you don't take it seriously as a true "sex tips" manual, you won't be disappointed.
