The (Im)perfect Girlfriend


Book Description

We kissed until it became necessary to stop so that we could breathe, by which time my lips were so swollen it looked like I'd been pleasuring a brillo pad. We grinned at each other again and I felt the urge to utter something brilliantly intellectual. 'Have I mentioned that I'm hopelessly in love with you?' Actress Sarah Sargeant has finally landed the perfect boyfriend. But as she leaves London for LA, Sarah finds herself morphing from the perfect girlfriend, baby voicing 'i love you's, into a nutty one who throws phones and screams a lot. Where did it all go wrong? Was it the photo of a semi-naked ex-girlfriend doing a downward dog she found in her boyfriend's filofax? Or maybe it's the steamy sex scene she films with the handsomest man in the world, ever. Laugh-out-loud funny and brutally honest, The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend is the story of one woman's search for her happy ever after. It is a novel that firmly establishes Lucy Anne Holmes as one of the best writers of romantic comedy today.

How to Be a Good Girlfriend and Keep Your Boyfriend Happy


Book Description

Why should the women of today - who want to be treated equally to men - be motivated to go above and beyond in their relationship? The truth is, some women don't feel any desire to go out of their way to make their partners especially happy, and that's their prerogative. But contributing that bare minimum to a relationship makes you far from perfect, and makes the relationship far from perfect too. Even more so now that 21st century men are increasingly realizing their own shortcomings and attempting to correct them. Luckily, you're here reading this now because you probably aren't among the status quo: You're ready to take a path of self-improvement for the benefit of your relationship and the happiness of your boyfriend. Kudos! The perfect woman (in the opinion of most men) is an assertive and confident leader at work, a gourmet chef at home, a goddess in bed, and a master organizer. She's not only skilled, intuitive, intelligent, well-read, witty, and positive, but can put her hair in a pony-tail and whoop ass better than the best, when needed. Sure, this massive expectation isn't exactly fair, but that's the meaning and price of perfection. Getting into a relationship is easy, but keeping a relationship happy is hard work - even more so if you wish to be the unequivocal owner of your man's heart and mind.
