description: Splendid book! I love it! --E. Jean Carroll, advice columnist for <em>ELLE</em> magazine<br /><br />"Though these three twenty somethings have been blinded by love in the past, their hindsight is perfectly keen...The Little Black Book enumerates dating portents with moxie." --<em>Marie Claire</em><br /><br />"<em>The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags </em>[is] essentially the dating guide for the Sex and the City generation. Take the [authors'] advice...they could save you a lot of time and heartache. --Jill Dobson, <em>CBS's The Early Show</em><br /><br />"This captivating book is based on an abundance of bad date anecdotes pulled together at BigRedFlags.com. While the book offers warnings for single women, it is primarily a fun, somewhat voyeuristic window into the disastrous side of the dating world." --<em>Library Journal</em><br /><br /><em>The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags</em> may very well become the dating girls' handbook. Run out and get a copy of the book before you say yes, or no, to your next date, ladies! --<em>Examiner.com</em><br /><br />According to a new book called <em>The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags</em>: How a guy treats you right after sex can be just as important as how he treats you during it. It's so true! --Michael Musto, <em>The Village Voice</em><br /><br />Funny and engaging yet brutally honest, <em>The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags</em> marries useful advice and startling stories that will assure readers they're not alone in the often-rocky quest to find Prince Charming. --<em>YourTango.com</em><br /><br />"<em>The Little Black Book of Big Red Flags</em> can help you understand women, which will help you get dates and help you get laid, and if you're really special, get laid on your dates." --<em>MTV's Clutch Blog</em><br /><br />"Dating gurus Natasha Burton, Julie Fishman and Meagan McCrary tell it like it is for dating newbies and experienced romantics alike. These writers break the tired self-help, pity-party mold." --<em>The Philadelphia Tribune</em><br /><br />"From bad boys to the emotionally infantile, these women manage to dish it out on the warning signs many women ignore. They find fun, light-hearted ways to talk about these tender topics in a blunt, honest tone." --<em>The Frederick News-Post</em>
