Book By: Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo

If love is blind, this book is an eye-opener. Women in love-beware of the lopsided affair you might be into. The well-qualified authors, Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo make a researched attempt to advise the reader that if the guy whom she likes, is just not reciprocating equally, leave him to his own because some things are just not meant to be.

In this lighthearted, petite, easy-to-read guide meant for single women, either dating or into a relationship, there is a horde of examples on how to find whether the guy is "into you or not." In other words, if he has your number but doesn't call very often or if he sometimes exempts himself from meeting you on pretext of work, it means you just do not head his priority list. The book suggests how to "smell" out such excuses and let go of the noose. Moreover, it explains how a woman must not cling to the relationship by assuming lame reasons why he does not reciprocate. She must face the truth that probably she is not the one for him and, after realizing that fact, she must not mourn over it. Life is too brief to weep over missed chances. Instead, look forward to the next one.

What is liked about this title is the authors, Greg and Liz, have presented a balanced perspective of men as well as women. It goes beyond the realms of relationships and helps the reader understand the feelings of both. Complete with letters, polls, a funny wordlist and a workbook, the book is a great counselor with a practical approach to relationships with an emotional outlook.

On second thought, twenty polls of close friends might not be an accurate representative of universal opinion. The language, though quite hip, has some immature undertones. Several "facts" mentioned here about the man's behavior might just be assumptions because each person expresses differently. Still, the book is a valuable read for men as well as women, since it helps understand each other and rationalizes the complexities to a large extent. Though this can be quite a painful revelation, it unshackles the falsities and prods the reader to march ahead in life, unfazed.
