** spoiler alert ** I had a really hard time relating to the main character. I can't really believe that someone who is supposedly so nice could do what she did to Luke. It makes it look like her being nice for most of her life was just her being fake; she was only nice because that's the correct way to act. I also don't see how continuously lying could ever seem like a good idea; of course it's only going to cause more problems in the end. She had so many chances to tell the truth. I have no clue why she would break up with Luke when she could have just explained herself beforehand to save herself some drama, especially when she wanted him back anyway. The ending was rushed too. I can't imagine anyone forgiving Emily that quickly, although her friends weren't blameless either.

I found some of the tips funny, but most of them were just really petty. Who cares if a guy doesn't carry around an umbrella with him? It's just rain. Or play the air guitar? or shouts at the tv? People aren't perfect and you can't expect them to change just to be who you want them to be. I guess that was one of the morals of the story, but at the end I'm still not convinced Emily learned her lesson. It seemed like everyone else knew and they were speaking such wise words to her, but her reactions didn't really seem like she really got it.
