From Library Journal
These tapes address the dating and relationship concerns of women. While the Hilts book provides a focused overview for most of the issues likely to cause anxiety, the Carle tape takes a much more scattershot approach and, unfortunately, is a much weaker product. Carle advocates, as does Hilts, the need to know and stand by one's own values. However, her suggestions on how to do so are buried in a plethora of male bashing, unfocused and poorly explained exercises, and "tips" that often seem manipulative rather than true lifestyle suggestions. There is excellent material here, but one must mine for it. The Inner Bitch, as read by Alyssa Bresnahan, provides a humorous and practical approach to the dating/relationship scene. Hilts advises slowing down, paying close attention to your thoughts, and waiting rather than rushing into old, unsuccessful behaviors. She also addresses such touchy issues as birth control, sex as recreation, and family holidays. Both tapes take the view that consenting adults can decide what is right for them. The Inner Bitch is highly recommended to public libraries that serve people who date or seek successful relationships. Don't Bet on the Prince! is not recommended.AKathleen Sullivan, Phoenix P.L.
