Title: Waste of time
Product review: I bought this book thinking it would help me better understand, and hopefully remedy, my fear of commitment. While it is cleverly disguised as a self-help book, in reality it is just a string of stories about the author's friends. The bulk of the book consists of the relationship histories and life stories of these women that the author knows: Paula, Annie, Sarah, Eva, Susannah, Maggie, Lila, Elizabeth, Isabel, Karen, Jane, Kate, Lydia, and Cynthia. I drudged through each woman's story, hoping that I could glean some kind of advice or explanation for my own commitment-phobic behavior. Unfortunately, I found no such luck. The author offers explanations for each woman's fear of commitment, but unless you have the exact same history as one of these women, these explanations are of little help to the reader. If you're looking for help with your fear of commitment, don't expect to find any here.
