What can I say? I just love this book! This book is one of the most hilarious, witty fiction book I have ever read! I simply love it!
This book is about Charlie, who just turned 30, single and working as a personal assistant to the sexiest movie star. The book starts off by Charlie starting a book of advice for her great great granddaughter. For example her first advice is:
Never wait by the phone. Ever.
The first chapter got me hooked and I find it difficult to put the book down. Her advices are so funny at times that I must admit laughing out loud several times. The story is written in such a way that its never boring, and every scene leads to a significant part of the whole story.
Basically this books showcases Charlie dealing with turning 30 and still being single. Like most ladies, she worries about her future, dreams of a Cinderella wedding and hates it when everyone ask her when she is getting married.
I especially like that the story is not predictable. She did not get together with her movie star boss! Sorry for the spoiler! Her advices are really funny and times and there are some which really make sense like these:
- There is no such thing as a perfect man.
- Lie to your parents. They so rarely wants the truth anyway.
- Breaking up is hard to do. Do it anyway.
- Never expect anyone to take care of you financially.
This book actually inspired me to write my own book of advice to my great great grand-daughter. I mean, if I know what I know now when I was 18, I would probably turn out different today.
Overall I think every woman should read this book. It offers the perfect set of advices that you need to help you get through the 20s period. In the end this book teaches me that no matter how screw up your life is, the ending is always mysterious but sweet.
Congratulations to the author. Excellent writting.
This is the Book of the Month for April in Singapore. Interesting, I saw this book in Success bookstore but I then decided not to buy it. If not I would have end up having 2 copies. This is a very simple book, you can finish it in 1 week just like I do.
Dr Steve Price was a school teacher teaching teenagers. Like most teachers who started, we all started with passion, to make a difference in someones life. But what happen was after a while that same passion went away and its just not enjoyable anymore. I could so relate to that. Thank you.
The different thing about this book is that its revealed the 10 strategies in making dreams come true. We call this people Dream Makers. Almost everybody knows that believing dreams come true is important but most people don’t know what are the actions to making it come true.
10 strategies revealed (briefly):
1.Positive expectations
2.Drop a strategy if it is not working
3.Make sure you are on the right track
4.Stick to the track, remain focus
5.Do not find excuses for yourself
6.Feed your brain with positive thoughts not negative thoughts
7.Go all out, discipline yourself
8.Do not walk when you can fly
9.Recognize the worthy investment in time and money
10.Improve on yourself
What struck me the most was No.8. I just realized that I have been walking all this time. Its time to fly, the view is spectacular!
