Book Review of When Your Phone Doesn't Ring, It'll Be Me

When Your Phone Doesn't Ring, It'll Be Me

Helpful Score: 1


Playboy Magazine columnist Heimel isn't afraid to take on the big questions, like, how do I dump a man who won't call me? If he leaves me, can I come too? Answering these questions without Prozac requires a woman who is mean and smart; fortunately, Heimel is both. This feminist urban romantic guerrilla is afraid of nothing but the comfortable relationship, her mother's barbs and life without her dogs, who are always there to comfort her when she comes home from a first date with a man whose last words were, "I'll call." Funny, merciless and strong.
