Story
In a stunning literary debut, Carrie Fisher chronicles the excruciatingly funny adventures of Suzanne Vale, young film star and drug addict, who survives a rehab clinic only to rejoin the equally harrowing world of Hollywood. Out there on the edge, despair flips into hilarity, and we're left laughing as Suzanne struggles to come to terms with her various fantasylands. Carrie Fisher's reading of her first novel evokes the deliciously irreverent humor that formed the lens through which she looked at life in the '80s.

Mrs. Post, the President and First Lady are here to see you. . . . So begins another average evening for Marjorie Merriweather Post. Presidents have come and gone, but she has hosted them all. Growing up in the modest farmlands of Battle Creek, Michigan, Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard—even when deemed American royalty, even while covered in imperial diamonds. Marjorie had an insatiable drive to live and love and to give more than she got.

In his instant New York Times best-selling book Do You Mind If I Cancel?, Gary Janetti had us all in stitches as he recounted the pains and indignities of everyday life in the way only he can. Now, in Start Without Me, Janetti returns with a hilarious collection about how sometimes the things we most want to get done and over with are the ones that define us for a lifetime. Gary turns his acid tongue (and secretly beating heart) to the moments and times that have defined him, no matter how embarrassing or annoying they might be to admit.

Welcome to New York’s legendary hotel for women, the Barbizon. Liberated after WWI from home and hearth, women flocked to New York City during the Roaring Twenties. But even as women’s residential hotels became the fashion, the Barbizon stood out; it was designed for young women with artistic aspirations, and included soaring art studios and soundproofed practice rooms. More importantly still, with no men allowed beyond the lobby, the Barbizon signaled respectability, a place where a young woman of a certain class could feel at home.

Publisher's Summary
Still provocative after all these years, Helen Gurley Brown celebrates the pleasures of flirting, of enjoying affairs from beginning to end, throwing brunches and dinner parties, finding men where you might not think to look, dating (and ditching) married men, and being both feminine and powerful.

The Book that Birthed the Sexual Revolution
This is pre-feminist empowerment, and is an absolute hoot to listen to. "I think the single woman's biggest problem are the people who are trying to marry her off." Gurley Brown declares in the intro, and from there on in it's clever and entertaining advice for single women of the Sixties. Some of it is absolutely applicable today, the importance of financial independence, why it's good to be worldy and intelligent, why sex is a basic right for single women. It also works as a sociological time capsule, a look into pre-2nd wave feminist society.
It's like spending time with your uber-cougar man-eater grandma. Wildly entertaining. She makes singledom sound like so much fun!

Wonderful wisdom with a pinch of lasciviousness
Plenty in this book is titillating, but never vulgar by modern standards. This book is a fascinating time capsule view into the life of a single girl in 1962.
What amazed and delighted me most was the volume of completely level headed advise given.
Replace "men" with "all social and professional contacts" and you have a very nice guide to social and professional life!

the basics still apply
As a content single woman in my mid 30s a lot of the advise is still applicable to the 21st century world. The reader did give a disclaimer about how dated the ideas on topics like homosexuality or references but I just skipped over those sections or just updated the reference in my mind.
This book gives some gems of advise from am array of topics. Some of the advise you most likely have heard before, but it's good advise. I wish I would have found this book during my first big breakup in my 20s I would have saved more time and money if I had this book then.
If your a woman in her 20s or 30s and are looking for an updated version of this type of book, go get The Game of Desire by Shannon Boodram. Its definitely a great book that really helped kick start this journey of understanding and loving myself.
All in all, take in the book as if you're a modern 1960s gal. Think Mary Tyler Moore and her crazy gal pals are discussing these topics. These ladies help pioneer a new type of feminism. Yes at types flawed but not without merit.
Happy listening

Timeless Advice To Dating & Mating
Although this book was initially written in the 60s; it's a timeless treasure relevant to dating & mating in 2019 almost prothetic. I liked how it taught how to identify the different types of men around us & their role (or potential) role on a single girl's life. Great book!
