1) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (with Other People): A Self-Help Novel by St. Martin´s Griffin. I´m not a big reader, but my husband picked this up for me on a whim. What a fantastic read! I found Cathryn´s writing style easy, flowing, and incredibly engaging. I still snort at the image of her caught, panti-less, in the middle of the dog door at night on a covert theft operation. Pick up a copy and read for yourself - whether you are divorced, happily married, or single. This is truly inspiring - I can´t wait for her next book!¤

2) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (with Other People): A Self-Help Novel by St. Martin´s Griffin. The book is a funny story about a ´fictional character´...we get an insight into the world of Ms. Michon and her thought process...and hopefully learn from her mistakes. It´s a fun read that just gets you thinking!¤

3) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (with Other People): A Self-Help Novel by St. Martin´s Griffin. This book is an excellent feel-good-about-yourself book jam packed with fun and true-to-life experiences that make a woman laugh out loud as she thinks, "ME TOO!!" It is also laced with some good-to-know facts about women´s history, women´s lives, and even the root meaning of words -- such as "bitch" - which was an honoring title signifying a courageous and strong woman, and "genius" which meant "the goddess within."

I picked up this book not knowing anything about Michon or her writing style, but it has made the perfect take-to-the-beach summmer reading book. After just 1 chapter I decided to pick up a few extra copies to give as gifts to friends (and my mother!)

This book is probably best read by women who have been-there, done-that in relationships...they would have the most laughs anyway (be they single, partnered-up, or divorced). But hey, if Michon´s book can enable a 20-year-old grrl genius to avoid the relationship destruction she discusses throughout the book, that would be even better!¤

4) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (with Other People): A Self-Help Novel by St. Martin´s Griffin. Cathryn Michon serves her life & loves up on a platter in this sequel to Grrl Genius Guide to life.

As a self-help novel, author includes plenty of tips for other girls to accept their Genius status -
The driving philosophy of being a Grrl Genius is one of acceptance of ones foibles, and loving oneself anyway. ..

Throughout the story, helpful learning facts are included which have been tailored for the bitter Grrls who want to break free from the mold.

One must remember, as the author advises in the introduction, the authority of these tips is often none other than "my big fat opinion".

Here´s a quote I´m feeling close to:

"After ten years together, you know a person. He can say he will change, but maybe he is promising change because, in fact, he just doesn´t want things to change at all.
The huge changes of divorce make the one being left desperate, willing to promise anything, and even if he could deliver, by then, your heart is dead to him. That´s why you left. It´s why I left, anyway."

Divorcing her soon to be ex husband Kurt, Cathryn must take the loss of her spouse, her lingere being sold in a yardsale under the noses of her posh neighbours by Kurts trashy girlfriend, and paying out $5,000 a month in maintenence to stinky & completely unlovable Kurt. (yes I emotionally invest in the book!)

As she must continue with her work and begins to date again, we get a peak into her life with friends & family.

Written in traditional novel style, deviating only for the comic inserts, botched figures, and completely scurrillous defamation of "The Rules", and occasional included emails (very sexy) all combine in what may have been a hectic and painful life but makes a very clever book.

Just a little too long, the heroine rebuilds her life and finds love, a dog, and redemption settling with what looks like a very positive ending and we hope that the Cathryn who wrote it is as happy as her character.

One speculates on use of "grrl" rather than "girl" twofold:
a) grrl is more instantly searchable and fewer results show
b) grrl sounds like growl, does this mean we´re all bitches?

5) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (with Other People): A Self-Help Novel by St. Martin´s Griffin. On Valentine´s Day this is what I did: I bought this book. I thought I would carry it around and feel ironic and then some guy would notice me reading a book with the word "sex" in the title and then he would ask me out and we would fly on his private jet to Paris. I´m still waiting for that guy to call but in the meantime I read Michon´s book and I wound up staying awake half the night. This is the tender tale of five women, the members of a chapter of the "Grrl Genius" club, who work through problems of divorce, death, love, and life, with dog custody and trying to "trap" a man into proposing and gourmet food and chocolate and fun facts about animal love. I was so, so, sorry when I finished this lovely, funny, wonderful book... and I wound up reading it again the next weekend. It´s fantastic, a great read, and I recommend it to everyone who likes a fun book!¤

6) Paperback Book The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (with Other People): A Self-Help Novel by St. Martin´s Griffin.

Who better to advise you on sex and relationships than a woman who has consistently failed at both? In this laugh out loud funny "self-help novel", self proclaimed genius and author Cathryn Michon provides a how not to guide for anyone tackling the daunting task of finding romance in today´s world (or at the local fire station.)

Chock full of instructive relationship tips-such as the Pros and "Cons" of dating a man in prison-The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People) is hilarious and right on the money both as an instructional guide and an endearingly romantic story about a woman and her four best friends who form The Grrl Genius Club. Armed with the information from Cathryn´s Wild Sexual Animal Kingdom research and her "Love is Important but Chocolate is Essential" Chocolate Fun Facts, her posse of Grrl Geniuses struggle with singlehood, married life, sexual preferences, widowhood, and friendship. Cathryn´s journey veers from a "nails-on-chalkboard-scratchingly-awful" divorce and the botched kidnapping of her own dog, to pretending to be a lesbian, seeing her old lingerie sold on her old front lawn by her ex-husband´s girlfriend, losing her job, and a tragic industrial accident-level bikini wax. And through everything, Cathryn searches for the answer to the most important relationship question of all: why are all the best men gay?

If you´ve ever been tempted to have sex with another person, this is an essential read. If you´ve ever felt inadequate to a task or a failure at love or in any way anything less than a genius and you´ve sunk so low that even a new pair of cute shoes won´t help, Cathryn Michon can show you the way to relationship happiness-all you have to do is learn from her very funny mistakes. However badly you think you´ve done anything, Cathryn has done it even worse, and reveals lessons learned in the wryly witty and devastatingly honest style that has made her the favorite of aspiring geniuses everywhere!
