To me, the back of the book made it sound like a wonderful funny read, but after reading the book that promise went unfullfilled. They book is well written but The humor failed me. The thought of "sensitivizing" a man would be funny but the story lines feed to the man went beyond sensible-I guess it would have been funnier if I were a more gossipy woman, but I have never found the need to relate to others on that shallow of a level. The repeated line of dessert going to the man's thighs as being a converstation starter between man and woman sounded fake to me. I guess to me a caring, interested man doesn't have to be a sterotypical "flitting female". As I said to enhance a male's awareness of his female side is one thing but to turn him into a gossipy high school girl with over active hormones just was a little too much for me. But as I said the idea of the story's good but the written story just didn't hit the mark for me. Not a bad work but not one I'd read again and again.
