"What a book for men and women both. There is no bitterness here, only the eloquence of honesty. Different voice present themselves forthrightly; ultimately there is something so open, and openheartdd, in the way these women offer up their versions of marriage, work, children, divorce, affairs, and dress sizes, that the reader is tempted, in the face of such truthfulness, to set the book down and say 'Thank you'."

Starts out strong, funny and insightful - then it turns into a complete whinefest. I loved the beginning of the book - especially the introduction. As I was reading, I was thinking, if men read this book they would understand what their women were thinking. However, after a while all of the stories seemed to blend into one another and it got boring.

I think this is a book that tends to read better if you read a few essays and put it down and then pick it up at a later date rather than try to read it all in one sitting.
