“Very wise . . . Give this book to every single girlfriend [you] have.”—Marie Claire

If you’re looking to get married and you’re not, there’s most likely a very good reason: you. Hey, you’re certainly not a bad person! You just haven’t yet become the woman you need to be in order to have the partnership you want. That’s where this book comes in. Based on her wildly popular Huffington Post article, Tracy McMillan’s Why You’re Not Married . . . Yet dishes out no-holds-barred practical wisdom for women hoping to head down the aisle. And this new edition features even more candid advice and sisterly insight. McMillan points out the behaviors that might be in your blind spot and shows you how to adjust them to get the relationship you deserve. Do any of these chapter headings sound familiar?

• You’re a Bitch: How defensiveness can hide behind a tough exterior, and why being nice is never a sign of weakness.
• You’re a Liar: How to stop lying to men—and get honest with yourself—about the kind of relationship you really want.
• You’re Selfish: The big secret about marriage: It’s about giving something, not getting it.

A funny, insightful guide, Why You’re Not Married . . . Yet will change your life and the way you think about relationships, and it may very well lead you down the aisle.

“Equal parts BFF, boot-camp instructor, and relationship guru, Tracy McMillan will change the way you think about yourself and your relationships. This book is for every woman out there who wants to have a great marriage.”—Ricki Lake

  McMillan's Huffington Post piece on this book's subject is the fourth most viewed in Huffington history, having hit 1.4 million views and counting. Pretty no-nonsense; one chapter called "You're a Bitch" examines issues of anger and fear

  While their titles suggest two books on opposite ends of the spectrum, they are actually quite similar. Their message is: don't settle. Writer and translator Gadish encourages women to think for themselves, weigh what they need in a relationship, and consider alternatives to marriage. TV writer (Mad Men) and memoirist (I Love You and I'm Leaving You Anyway) McMillan advocates marriage but encourages women to be grounded and fully developed as people before walking down the aisle. There is no need to walk down that path, says Gadish, as marriage is no longer an essential rite of passage, and single women can choose to be free and independent as well as successful and respected without having a husband. While this is true, women who want to be in a lawfully committed relationship may be interested in the nitty gritty summaries, called "What Your Best Friend/Sister/Next-Door Neighbor Knows but Hasn't Told You," that McMillan includes at the end of each chapter. VERDICT Don't Say I Do! is wonderfully supportive for the woman who has made the decision to remain single. Why You're Not Married...Yet is both a great read and a catalyst for soul-searching.
