Title: Tales for Delicious Girls
Author: Barbora Knobova
Publisher: BK Publishing
About the book: Twenty-five exhilarating real-life stories about delicious women, eccentric men and stubborn dogs.
Tales for Delicious Girls offers witty, refreshing, clever and ironic insight into relationships between men and women from all points of view. The book is a modern relationship manual, providing answers to the most pressing dating and friendship questions that strong, independent, modern women want to know. Tales for Delicious Girls deals with wishes, desires and dreams - as well as hilarious mishaps and dating disasters.
However Tales for Delicious Girls is not simply a humorous book. In addition to entertaining the readers, the tales inspire women to think about their life and relationships, see themselves through different eyes and realize that they are their own best friend, the pillar of their own life, and the only person they can always count on. Tales for Delicious Girls encourages women to love, respect and appreciate themselves, to live the life they have always wanted, and become aware of their true uniqueness and deliciousness. It helps them to realize their own strength and power and overcome difficult life and relationship situations. (back cover)
My thoughts: I did find some of these stories humorous, but I cannot say that I related much to this book. The author has been to many many places and sounds like she has had a variety of men in her life because of her travels. My favorite story was probably Man, Woman, Dog (being a dog lover myself and sharing my life with 2 - dogs, not men - only 1 of those in my life). I loved the way that she told the story about her "Man" and how he failed to understand her "Dog". For those of you with dogs - you know that they think they are human and so have the same rights... This "Man" did not get that - especially when he wanted to read the paper in bed and the dog wanted the lights out to go to sleep!
Overall, she does insist throughout all the stories that we need to be true to ourselves and not shortchange us (or one another as girlfriends) for the sake of a man or a relationship. This would be a fun read for someone who is out there in the dating world - and I may pass it on to my sister.
