The Ultimate Desperate Girls Guide



He Just Thinks He’s Not That Into You, The Insanely Determined Girl’s Guide to Getting the Man She Wants is indeed an insanely long title for a book that has barely 150 pages. Anyways, the reason for introducing this book is not because it really works, but because with this book you can laugh at other women and yourself. And it was once again when the book cover caught my attention, not to mention that this book costs $10 (that’s P500). “Sniff Sniff”, but it was worth the laugh, at least. Well, let’s get started; the book which’s title is ridiculously long to name again was written by Danielle Whitman. It has adorable girly pictures in it and pages have different layouts with different fonts such as cursive. There are also little adornments on each page such as stars or hearts. It is overall a really cute book. The book, as the title already describes it, is about getting the man you want. The means which are described in this book are insane, intolerable and plain stupid, but at least this book gives hope to the desperate as to why he has not called yet. This book is hilarious if you see it as such and not as serious self-help literature.
