A Virgin's Guide to Everything: From Sushi to Sample Sales--A Novice's Handbook to Doing It Right

by Lauren McCutcheon, Veronica Chambers

Life is full of firsts -- thankfully, A VIRGIN'S GUIDE TO EVERYTHING, and its array of experts, is here to help.

You can admit it-you're a virgin. Everyone was at one point. And no, we're not talking about sex. We don't care who you've slept with (okay, we do, but that will have to wait for another book). What we're talking about is that you've never before been to a wine tasting, bought real art (posters from college don't count), had a personal trainer, nor known the proper way to eat or order sushi.

This perfect guide for Virgins, non-and Born-Again Virgins, makes sure that your first times (or second or third) are done right. Filled with advice from Go-to-Girls who are experts in their fields, A Virgin's Guide to Everything is like having a cool, older sister who's always willing to show you the way.

I've been trying to get through a lot of my books that I have been keeping around way too long, and this one was on that list. Judging from the folded corners, I've read this one before, but I don't remember too much. There was a decent amount of helpful advice in there, fun & entertaining info as well as major life matters. I'm not necessarily going to keep this around as a reference guide, but it was definitely good enough to help me learn (relearn?) a few things.

I was lured by the cute cover and title, but it isn't really enough detail to be helpful in ANY category, but a fun quick read for pieces at a time. I'm going to add it to my "read" shelf on my (physical) bookshelf and see if I have any desire to refer back to it in the next year before selling.

Advice for novices in a variety of situations, including love, shopping, cooking, and more.

Fun little book, though at times the advice seemed too obvious and not deep enough.

[Julie]

A condasending book.

[Jennifer]

Funny, witty, well written and full of practical advice.
