Product Description
When Stephanie Klein hit her twenty-fourth birthday, she thought she had everything she could possibly have wanted from life: a good job, a successful husband, a Manhattan apartment and a baby on the way. By the time she hit thirty it was all gone: her husband and her baby lost. She was left to start again with a whole new life and an entirely depleted cast of characters. The 'Husband' had become the 'Wasband' and her only company was her 'Furkid' (the small brown dog she now shared a bed with). Her friend told her to get out dating again and to employ the sandwich principle - keep one man on either side, and enjoy the interesting one in-between. So she set off, with much trepidation and wardrobe anxiety, to discover single sex all over again...The weblog she kept of her new found freedom and sexual adventures became a sensation in the States. Her brilliantly funny, acerbic descriptions of love, life and dating bought her press and acclaim. "Straight up and Dirty" is Stephanie's funnier than comedy, truer than romance, sexier than fiction account of her journey. This has bestseller written all over it, it's sexy, tart and funny - destined to hit the Top Ten in the US and UK.

Format:Paperback
Was looking forward to reading this but was very very difficult to read however I didn't give up and went through to the end. It isn't very dirty, the character is just blunt. I wouldn't recomend this book, there are other books like this which are so much better.

I liked reading this book. It was a quick and easy summer read and it's nice to read something fluffy once in a while. If you've ever read her blog, I'd definetly recommend this book to you because you can finally get the full story. If you like chick-lit (I hardly ever do) I think that you'll like this book too because it is mostly about relationships and a girl living it up in the city. But if you're looking for something more, something thought-provoking or emotion-stirring, I'd suggest you look somewhere else.

I was looking forward to reading this - having read diary of a manhatten call girl I thought this may be in the same vein. I was very dissapointed - the writing is very difficult to follow, flipping from present to past all the time without imparting any particular information. I have only made it to the fifth chapter and I am so bored I don't know if I will carry on...

Treat this book like a cappuccino; as a lovely but slightly guilty pleasure. Dive through the froth and you're left with a bloody good read, but don't dive through the froth that... Read more

Hard work
I started reading this book but the writing style was so arduous and the subject matter so depressing that I went back to reading Proust.

I'm a guy and I liked this book!
I read this book by accident. My girlfriend in London left it here when she was visiting, and I started to casually leaf through the pages. Read more

This book helped me
I read the "Mystery girl" review and wondered what book he/she read. This book was not at all about someone's desperate attempt to snag a husband. Read more

Absolutely Dreadful!
The PR machine has gone into overdrive for blogger Stephanie Klein but don't be fooled - this book is a mess. First and foremost, Stephanie Klein can't write. Read more

How can I rave enough?!!
I picked STRAIGHT UP & DIRTY by Stephanie Klein because I knew her from her wildly successful blog in the States. I didn't know what to expect. Would it read like her blog? Read more
