Editorial reviews

Most knowledge, especially concerning relationships, comes from trial and error and the failures, although instructive, can be devastatingly painful. So why not learn from others' mistakes and advice? This audiobook is a compendium of knowledge, full of smart women who’ve made mistakes in life, love, and relationships and become more powerful for it. Performed by Rosemary Benson in a tone that feels like a confiding and reassuring friend, someone who’s been there and wants to empower others, this is an easy listen but chockfull of pearls of wisdom that smart women will relate to and learn from.

Publisher's summary

Short and to the point

I feel like this is the kind of book you can listen to over and over and the information never gets old, just sinks in more over time.

WOW!!!!!!!

This book should be mandatory for ALL females and males that want to really learn about women. Wish this was available many years ago. Will definitely make it available for my granddaughters and all females I come in contact with in the future. While I knew much of what was written I learned it the hard way. Life experience.

A few good points but overall average

The book mentions a few good things that can easily be missed when dating to pay attention to but focuses and overly talks about way too many dramatic and toxic scenarios in depth. Overall left me feeling uninspired and as if I had just binged watched Jerry Springer.
