Great book on negotiating each state of relationships for intelligent, secular women. Full of advice on balancing head and heart, and thinking ahead while enjoying life now.

I decided not to provide an outline of the book as I felt the title ‘The Thinking Girls Guide To The Right Guy: How knowing yourself can help you navigate dating, hookups, and love’ covered it quite well.
Initially I felt the book was aimed at a younger age bracket i.e. university level due to discussions on hooking up. Further into the book I realized the points/tips were really applicable at any age It also occurred to me that I couldn’t think of any reason why an older person couldn’t hook up with someone if they wanted to providing commonsense was used. Though I wasn’t in a relationship at the time of reading it was still useful to be reminded of the importance of communication and having needs met in a relationship. This gave me a little clarity on how I might have contributed to the breakup of previous relationships and what could be improved on for new ones.
The skills discussed in the book are fundamental and work for everyone and several statements/points have stayed with me as follows:
• A relationship doesn’t survive on love alone
• If you don’t speak up in a relationship then your needs won’t be met. How you speak up is vital.
• The use of realistic self talk has a positive effect.
• There are several ways of showing someone we like them
I liked how the stories of seven women were used to illustrate and explain different points. The resource section was also very handy as it included links to supporting information, research and further reading.
Sections of the book were easily read like a novel and others I felt the need to focus so the information would be retained. I found the formatting a little distracting at times and was unsure if that was due to copyright, pre publication/press release?
This book is recommended for anyone who feels they need some relationship help and help with where they went wrong in the past.

Not for me; I believe this book is aimed at a much younger audience. Possibly useful for late teens or early 20's (im late 30s). Most of the situations discussed were not at all relevant to me.

Excellent book on healthy relationships.

"The Thinking Girl's Guide to the Right Guy: How Knowing Yourself Can Help You Navigate Dating, Hookups, and Love" is well written. The author does make some interesting points. The book is full of good advice, and I got a lot of insight from this book that I never knew before. The book teaches every woman to find the right and healthy relationship. I wish I read this when I was younger. Please read this book if you want to understand yourself and your relationships better.

Thank you Netgalley for this book.
