By the time I had this book I was already with my partner, however, it was still helpful and funny. Yet again this is another book that Tracey Cox has written with compassion, sensativity and buckets full of humour. It is perfect for anyone who hasn't started dating, or hasn't had a long term relationship or even after a divorce and are just starting to think about dating again. It helped fine tune the odd points of my relationship, there weren't many and only minor ones but it was still the best book for the job. Even now I still occassionally pick it up to read if just for a laugh.
