A witty overview of modern dating. Women love talking about this sort of thing - all recently divorced men should read as a primer on modern relationships.

Great gift idea

Too funny....you couldn't help but relate....great gift idea for the girl friend who has everything!

Great Book!!

I loved this book! I read several of the scenarios out loud to my girlfriends and we laughed at how many times we have personally experienced some of these Deal Breakers. A great book to have for a girl's night - or to give as a gift!

Thoughtful and Hilarious

What a fantastic, clever book! The situations posed are utterly funny and entertaining. And then you really start to think about them...
