One day you log onto the computer and notice that your husband has a secret screen name: HotRod287. Next thing you know, black turtlenecks and a leather bomber jacket are his hip new signature look. And those long blonde hairs in his sports car? Sorry sweetie, but they're not from your golden retriever. Because they have dark roots - under your magnifying glass.

Still Hot is a completely hilarious and saucy survival guide that takes you from the first inkling that your marriage is toast to regaining your long-forgotten inner peace, and all the bizarre tragicomedy that comes in between.

Throughout, you'll get practical tips, like:
* how to trash those photos of your ex (Send his new babe all the shots that show more hair in his ears than on his head.)
* what to do if your bedroom seems vacant without him (Buy a giant fern.)
* creative ways to meet new men (Get a job in a urologist's office.)
* invaluable first-date DONTs (Never call your divorce lawyer from the table.)

Through checklists, quizzes, and wacky vignettes, you'll recognize yourself on every page -- playing Internet solitaire on Saturday night, memorizing the generic name for Valium (diazepam), weeding out the geeks on match.com, and praying that your ex's new babe's implants will rupture. In a public place.

Still Hot is the perfect girlfriend gift. Buy it for yourself, your friends, your sister, maybe even your mother - anyone, in fact, who could use a good laugh when she finds herself suddenly single.

 

sensible underneath it all

Behind the uncontrolled New York quipping and sitcom stereotyping --- if the authors interviewed anyone thoughtful, considerate of the other party, much less introspective or, indeed, sad, it seems they left such feelings out --- there's actually a book here containing sound advice, judgment, and commiseration.

*Hot* can be recommended for anyone in the predicament, provided you can get past the shtick.


 

Hilarious! The smart and funny ultimate survival guide.

"Still Hot" is absolutely hilarious!
Loved it - from the opening something's fishy heads up, "Spotting an Alien", through the comical "Do's and Don'ts" and the spot on "Internet: Cracking the Code" advice, all the way to "Hello Tomorrow."

Funnily enough, "Still Hot" is alive with really useful advice, not only for surviving divorce but also for living modern life. I recommend it for anyone facing any kind of challenge at any time. It is sure to help with keeping things in the proper perspective.

It's smart and funny - and it's got style.

 

Still Hot: The Uncensored Guide to Divorce, Dating, Sex, Spite, and Happily Ever After

Divorce is probably one of the most traumatic events in a person's life: to have to separate from the one person that you have shared a serious amount of time and intimacies with and possibly had children with, is all about having to change habits, to reinvent oneself. The authors have managed to face this trauma with Humor (with a capital "H"), to get up after they were down, to face life head-on, and with laughter. I admire their strength, their fighting spirit. I know it was not easy, but "Still Hot" makes it look like they could handle anything - it's a terrific book, deep, human and fun. Enjoy.

 

almost makes divorce seem fun....not really

While in the midst of a divorce reading about it could seem like adding insult to injury. The authors here speak to women at their most vulnerable moment with a touch of humor and understanding that allows readers to open up and be able to take in some of the insight and advice the authors generously share. It's up there together with a best girlfriend giving support during a difficult time.

 

a MUST read whether you're divorced, married, or single - as long as you like to laugh!

I've picked the book up three times since I first read it - just to check out some of the anecdotes again, because I love to laugh! The authors nailed it. They don't preach; they don't wallow in self-pity. Life is too short for that. They just make you laugh hysterically, nodding your head at the truisms you're reading, and it doesn't matter a whit if you've never been divorced or even married for that matter. I don't think there's anyone who won't relate to this great book. It's not read it and weep. It's read it and laugh 'til tears stream down your face.
