I admit, I have a hard time making and keeping friends with other women. I have always been that way, since about middle school I always gravitated toward male friendships. Other girls, and women now, just seem so petty. Most of the women I know today just want to talk bad about me, and insignificant topics. I need substance.Woman are all unique, but our core is so similar in many ways. From jealousy, power games and competition, to harsh truths, Alana Munro has laid it all out on the line - not holding her tongue.I appreciate her straightforwardness in telling us how it is. I think we all know the truths she tells, but are we really willing to step back and take an honest look at ourselves?Using personal stories, Munro sets the stage for an eye-opening look into the inner working and mind of women, generally speaking. Yes, there are stereotypes, why? Because for the norm they are true! Munro's accounts of personal stories and quotations help to paint a picture of reality - even if we need help seeing it.I found this book insightful into the minds of some ladies I know, whom I don't really share a common interest with. And helped me understand a few complicated relationships I have found myself in.On a side note - I noticed complaints about editing. Those reviewers must have seen an earlier version than what I just read. Munro must have had it edited, and it looks fantastic!
