Excuse me for a moment while I grab my composure…

                Okay, got it! WOW…this book…WOW…After reading this book it completely solidified my reasons for only having three friends. Yes, you heard right, three.

I never could understand the cattiness women portrayed in their so called “friendships”. I’ve always been the “no nonsense, call you out on your bull-crap kind of gal. I don’t like, want or need your drama and I definitely don’t need the competition. After all, what’s the use???

 I think every woman (even some men) need to read this book- no matter what- AND SOON!!! I believe it’s that slap on the face I wish I could personally deliver to those “way-up” on their high horse and those “way-below” that basically let you walk all over them.

This is the wake-up call needed for all the “pretty-oh-woe-is-me” girls to the “Look at me, look at me women…ugh…just thinking about how vindictive we can be is disgusting…

I’ll stop ranting right now. Seriously though, pick up a copy of this book. It will open your eyes to a completely different point of view and maybe, just maybe- either boost your self-esteem or give you the reality check that you need. Either way, this book is highly recommended to the eye opening truth about the cattiness and complications of friendships.

About the book:
