3.0 out of 5 stars All a bit obvious really., 29 Oct 2007

By	Lolly (Milton Keynes) - See all my reviews

I bought this book hoping for something quite in depth that would give me advice on conduct in different social situations. However I really didn't feel like it delivered. All of it's suggestions were obvious and I learnt very little from it. I wouldn't recommend anyone who had been brought up knowing how to hold a knife and fork to buy this book. It is nicely presented but really of little substance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every girl should have one, 8 Oct 2006

By	ER (Kenilworth, U.K.) - See all my reviews

An essential for `girls' of all ages - lovely photographs and layout, bags of practical guidance: how to tip your hairdresser, when to remove your hat at weddings, what to do with an oyster.... and other dodgy date dilemmas. All in an entertaining and unstuffy style which makes it unputdownable both for girls and `boys'

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a very cool message for girls, 17 Nov 2006

By	Camilla (London) - See all my reviews

Nice and all as this book may sound, I was a bit upset when my twenty six years old daughter asked me if I'd ever had an affair on her father and (would you believe it) gotten away with it? She was afraid that because this book gives advice on infidelity that it's the norm. The book says When cheating on a husband/partner, be sure to cover your tracks. Destroy receipts you cannot explain away, delete incriminating text messages as soon as they're received, and be wary of e-mail.
I was also very upset at the section on telling lies where Rule number one is to watch your back. If you're overheard bad-mouthing someone, and are sure that umbrage was taken, apologise at once. If you're too spineless to do it in person, e-mail.
My daughter is so lovely yet very smart and after a good sit down and a chat with me about these subjects, she and her friends now agree that this book is really irresponsible and uncool. Every woman should realise that having affairs and telling lies just hurts people afterall it's someone's father or husband you're messing with. It's really sad that this book makes affairs and telling lies seem cool. A note of warning, this is not a suitable book for trendy girls and certainly not for teenagers. Being trendy is about being honest and not lying to your best friends.
