Glad to read a book that doesn't make single women feel as though being single is a curse. Author encourages single women not to compromise their principles and standards just to conform to what society thinks they should be. She also gives concrete examples of what happens to women who do give in and how unhappy they are because they should have stayed single.

I read this book because I'm a single man. I hoped to understand more about how women think about being single and what makes a relationship succeed or fail. What I learned, is that it's all my fault! After the first few chapters, I felt worn down by being constantly blamed for how society has treated women throughout history.

There's a lot of bias in this book. For example, the author admits that women have affairs too. But women have them, apparently, because they have been damaged (by men). Men have affairs simply because they feel trapped by being together in a relationship. Heads you win, tails I lose!

The author has clearly had bad experiences with men, and giving this book just one star would be just another example of how mean men are to women, so I will give it 2.
