She’s Crazy, He’s a Liar – Now What?: A Single Girl’s Guide to Understanding the Sexes

By Cecily Knobler

Luckily, comedienne Cecily Knobler has come out with a new dating book for both men and women called She’s Crazy, He’s a Liar – Now What? While the title may look like it’ll just reinforce stereotypes, it actually presents a less rigid, commonsense approach to dating that completely avoids being preachy. Instead of trying to give you rules to follow, Knobler shares her (many, many) firsthand experiences in dating scenes across the country and helps identify red flags that could pop up. The book aims to make readers more introspective and encourages us to recognize the problems we can so easily see in others’ relationships in our own without outside help.
