Summary: Now I understand the whole pointy shoe thing
Review: I am sure I wasn't meant to be reading this book, but you know how it is. You're sat waiting for someone and to fill in the time you pick up the nearest thing to hand. In this case it was Ms.Grish's book sat on a coffee table.

I'd seen it a day or so before in the hands of a couple of women who were sniggering over the contents while they enjoyed what I presume to be tall non-fat lattes at my local Starbucks.

My first thoughts were - here we go another book taking a swipe at the battered male. Well I'm probably not wrong - but I did have to laugh. I'm embarrassed to say I saw a bit of me in some of the unfortunate young men dealt a heartbreaking blow from well-heeled young women. Do women really meticulously plan out what they are going to wear before they put in the boot? It would appear so.

The observations are smart and funny and the book is dotted with cute little devices such as the 'relationship care label'. I you live life on the lighter side I think you'll laugh (and if you're a guy in touch with his softer side you may even choose to cry, these women are a clever bunch!) and your girlfriends will thank you for the tongue in cheek wisdom.

The three copies I've given as presents have all gone down very well. While my friends may not yet be wearing fuzzy angora to mess with male minds they are at least wearing well turned out smiles.
