Well, it's definitely a simple guide. Three stars b/c I really liked the parts about viewing other women as sources of inspiration as opposed to competition, about needing to nurture female friendships, etc.
Quotes:
"You can forever change the way you think about other women by systematically seeking the company of members of the fair sex over a short period of time and actively challenging the assumption that their many qualities are a threat to your ego."

I thought this book was cute and fairly clever. A light read with the twist of a French perspective on 'the art of being a woman'. Some gems can be found within while other concepts should be taken with a grain of salt. Clever, cute drawings to go along with ideas. Overall, an average book I may recommend to a friend or two looking for mild entertainment on one woman's perspective on being a woman.

I did not like this book. I thought it was going to be inspirational and women empowering and instead it was chock full of crappy advice like "buy myself something pretty" and "it's my duty to wear make-up and make a presentation of my face for the world". No kidding I couldn't make this stuff up. I apparently am also a bad and arrogant person because I dress casually for funerals, call the guy my friend is seeing what's-his-name, and do not own an unabridged dictionary. Seri

An insight into why we do the things we do and the unique power we yield as women! It's a nice non comital book that allows you to revisit its wisdom on any page at any juncture.

Complete disappointment. I had read that this author was “inspirational to women”—however I was far from inspired. Cute cover…but rather characterless contents. I couldn’t even finish this book (and so maybe I missed the inspiring part) but I found no new insights on how to live more authentically other than not reading this book. I actually felt offended by the silly “wisdom”—as if the author thought that that was as deep as women can get (she clearly hasn’t met me, or my friends, or the ma

Charming book. Although it is not what I consider to be an in depth read nor a life changing read, Vienne does offer a few gems of wisdom that inspire me to want to live a better life.

This woman has a way with words. She is insightful and witty. With each of her topics pondered, I found myself wanting to underline her phrases of smart perspective. However, since I was reading these words from a library book, I refrained myself and walked away instead with a good feeling. Yet, I will buy this book and read it again and go back and highlight and underline specifics worth revisiting again and again . Her words and insight are that good.

Reading this book, it was just OK. But then when I was finished and went back and read some of my favorite quotes from it, I realized there are some great lines that if one takes those words, and applies them to one's thinking, it just might change the way you live. And maybe that's what the authors intent was, to leave you wanting to become a better person...if you can get past all the cliches and stereotypes.

This was good but not great...a little over the top. The author overly romanticized some of her ideals and came off as being more of a dreamer than a realist.
