4.0 out of 5 stars The tables are turned., November 19, 2001

This review is from: Understanding the "Why" Chromosome (Paperback)

In this book, the tables at last are turned. In the past, Cathy always wanted Irving to propose. When she brought it up, he ran. Here the tables are turned. When Alex, her young beau, actually gives her the one thing she always wanted from a man, a ring, she herself runs.

Whether it is dealing with men, her dog, her work or her relationship, Cathy's insecurities, as well as her "why aren't you married" yet mother, who is like her in many ways, Cathy, continues to tickle our funny bone.

Try it you won't be disapointed.

And neither have I! Early 90's brought Alex into Cathy's life, which was her "Mid-Life Crisis". How fitting that she would throw him out of her life, when she went camping with him. Enough of the unknown Alex, Irving is the only man for her!
