Later marriages, a high divorce rate, and the number of second and third marriages have long meant that millions of women, not just teenage girls, are actively dating. But they aren't all loving it. Abusive dating situations, be they negative comments from a man such as, "I don't know why I waste my time with you," to life-threatening experiences such as rape, are part of many women's histories, contends McShane. Although the title may sound flip, the material covered is sound. McShane points out how romantic myths about men can set women up for abuse, tackles specific cases of abuse, and offers recovery and prevention strategies. A much-needed book that will be in demand.
