 Lets Talk About It:

This book is set in New York City, in that area, and I will say that the characters seemed very, very real. I'm from California, my boyfriend is from New York and everything that he has ever described to me about how New Yorkers are, how they interact, how love is the Author got perfect. 

The characters were very like able. Roger, who is very smooth, very honest, very.. honest to Max at least, not to women, was like able and yet you kind of wanted to punch him at times. Max who is the person that this book really revolves around is the typical good guy and he looses his way a bit chasing after the big dream, the American dream of being famous, rich, having everything. His relationships were interesting. He was dating this girl named Veronica who was forcing him to do bigger to be better she always wanted more. He was trying to make her happy. He changed jobs from a smaller agency that he loved and went to a powerhouse agency where it was all about politics. He wasn't happy there. He wasn't happy with the way the agency ran and the cut throat nature of the business. I know ad agency's are basically trying to one up each other to win the client however this agency that Max was working at it wasn't just the clients or the other ad agency's it was very very much a cut throat work enviornment. Cassidy is actually his former bosses daughter, from the smaller ad agency, they are best of friends who had previously dated and the whole time I was like 'Please Max and Cassidy.. Please just get back together! You guys belong together'.

The Guys' Guy's Guide to love is a book thats about everything. About karma and living right, love, women and men and the way we see each other. It was really interesting because inside of the book Max was writing this column for Cassidy's magazine so you got not only the book but also the column. The column Max was writing was spot on about guys and women and how we treat each other. Honestly.. maybe this Author needs to continue as a side job with this column! It was really insightful and enjoyable to read. I think it added a unique twist to the book.

Max started the column exposing Roger, the way that Roger acts around women and it evolves to be more than that. It ends up taking on a life of its own. Max ends up learning through his column too. He becomes this famous local celebrity once they introduce him as the Author. Max wrote the column anonymously at first. It was interesting how as the book progressed Max and Roger end up switching roles. Roger.. karma came and bit him in the butt and he becomes this better person. Max, through his column, meets all these women and starts acting the way Roger did, acting exactly like the guys he was talking about in his column.

It was a really good book that I could not put down. It was that good, you get sucked right into it and become totally involved in each of the characters. The story never had a dull moment. It's a little bit of romance, a lot of humor making a fun read.
