I wish I could buy up a bunch of copies and take back in time to every friend I've ever had who continually screwed up not only her own head, but any hope of a decent relationship with the guy she really wanted. Repeating the same patterns over and over and then placing the blame for failure entirely at his feet. Expecting him to act like that guy on her favorite TV show and then sulking (and saying nothing is wrong) when he doesn't. Nitpicking his fashion sense while ignoring the fact he'd likely take a bullet for her. And baggage, OMG the baggage so many of them drug into every relationship. In the chapter on learning to really let go of your baggage, Thrasher observes that 'No quality man will let himself stay with a woman that carries around New York tri-state area airport level of baggage'. Since none of us want to hook up with the type of jerk who seeks out damaged goods, it's advice worth taking to heart. This is a great book that will give you the cold hard truth your friends, your SO, and the glitterati of the entertainment world won't, and if you'll put it into play in your life you WILL get the relationship you want... and not just the one you've set yourself up to deserve.
