Girlfriend 911: Decoding Dating & Rescuing Relationships One Girlfriend at a Time

by Jacquee Kahn, Lori LePage

It’s been said Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. In her eye-opening book, Girlfriend 911, relationship “guru” Jacquee Kahn puts an end to the insanity with a step-by-step guide to rescuing relationships in trouble, and helping single women find and keep “Mr. Right.” Often referred to as the “Super Nanny for Women”—a nod to no-nonsense parenting expert Jo Frost—Kahn’s approach is concise, straight-forward, and backed by proven results. Based on years of helping her girlfriends (and their girlfriends, and their girlfriends, and so on) with all sorts of relationship woes, Kahn devised a “formula” for attracting and maintaining a healthy relationship. She details her secret formula in Girlfriend 911, and provides easy-to-follow instructions, fascinating relationship “case studies,” and extraordinary outcomes. In relatable, girlfriend-to-girlfriend language Kahn exposes the root cause of relationship failure, and skillfully illustrates how immediate the results can be once you get with the program. Girlfriend 911 is the relationship bible no girlfriend should be without!

Girlfriend 911 is an invaluable tool for any woman, regardless of her relationship status. Single, dating, in a relationship, and even married women can benefit enormously from the Girlfriend 911 program and the lessons contained within.

I'm not the audience for this book, as I am in a stable, loving relationship. However, the author does make done good points about power balance, and not settling for lesst han you deserve, which I do see a lot of women do these days. However, I disagree that you can't ever ask a man out. If that scares a man, then you don't want to be with him!

I haven't dated in awhile so I thought I should get a refresher course so to speak. This is an awesome book that every woman should read once. I got it for free from Amazon but I would have paid for it. If you've read my last few reviews you know I've bought a few Kindle duds recently so that says a lot.

I thought this was going to be a collection of comedic short stories ...instead it a sad advice book from a woman who has never had a healthy long-term relationship. As for the women she mentions as "clients" in the book ...they need professional help from a whole team of licensed therapists -- not this woman. Not worth starting ...let alone finishing.

An interesting relationship book of the kind I read now and then as research for writing about romance -- writers should never stop learning. I agree with the author's basic premise, that women today often fail to value themselves as they should, making it too easy for men. Her solution has it's points, but I have to wonder if it works across the board.

This is a book about relationships that intrigued me because of my psychology background. A lot of her tips are interesting and really show some insight.

Mostly good advice, but a bit too modern for my taste.
