Does She Know? by Steve Shaw & Helene Sheptin

Started: 3/13/06
Finished: 3/13/06
Pages: 164
Genre: Relationship-non-fiction
Grade: C
Reason for reading: PR asked me to read and review
Blurb (from back cover): "A story of two lovers magnetically attracted to one another and yet unable to fully unite. This story is revealed thru selections of the 478 actual emails and responses sent over a tumultuous one-year peiod. The love affair explores the timely issue of how many men and women are establishing and carrying on relationships via email, with face-to-face rendezvous punctuating their online time. The drama, which unfolds, tells how two lovers can be so close and share the same intimate experiences and still at the end of the day, go to sleep alone with entirely opposite feelings.
"After reading this book, men will not have any more answers about what goes on inside the female mind however they will realize there are other men who are also traveling this journey. Women will realize what they already believe IS true: that thing they have is all-powerful. Men will go to the ends of the earth to 'get it' and spare nothing including their egos to have it. Finally, women will glean from this story an important truth: if your man is willing to make an ass out of himself for you...when he bares his heart and soul, you better keep him. If not you too may wake up alone..."
Opinion: I love the concept of having a book based on actually emails. Unfortunately, the emails don't have the whole conversation between the two and can be distracting on trying to figure out what they spoke about on the phone. For me, read my review on MyShelf.com next month.
