Good Manners For Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I LOVED this book! So many great examples on many difficult and common-sense situations for everyone, from bars/restaurants, airplanes and complex relationships/friendships. Amy's stye is very fun to read, an easy read without feeling too lecture-y. I found myself laughing out loud a few times. Pg. 32 on how to end a friendship proved especially useful to me very recently. I recognized myself in several situations described in this book - and especially loved the last chapter. A great book from which everyone can learn something. I like my messages casual, unpretentious and wrapped in humor like I'm listening to a wise and wisecracking friend. Which is what this book is. But, it's so much more than that. It has heart, it has soul and it's got a hell of a lot of modern day sensibility and humanity. If everyone read this book and followed her uncommon, common sense advice, the world would be a better place. Amy Alkon, I am a fan.
