Hardback
Contemporary Romance

 

Have you ever wondered what women do when they go off in a group to the bathroom? 

Claire St. John left behind life as she knew it in New York. No longer will she be a lawyer or wife to her cheating ex-husband Charles. Determined to start her life and career over, Claire has returned to Austin Texas, where she’ll pursue a writing career. And exactly what will she write? Why a novel of course. It’s really more of a guidebook for men detailing what exactly takes place in the women’s bathroom. After all she’s received her best advice in the women’s bathroom.

But when Jake Armstrong enters her life, will she be able to heed to her own advice or will she watch another relationship go down the toilet? 

Who would’ve thought that a book about the women’s bathroom would be amazingly funny and accurate to boot. Ms. Barrett is an extremely talented writer. She’s managed to peg the women population to a tee. This reviewer wonders if she had to spend time in various bathrooms to come up with some of the material in the book, some of the antics were side-splitting funny. Not only is it a guidebook but a romance weaved inside. 

Claire is strong woman who refuses to let an unfaithful husband bring her down. Her desires to follow her dream, even if it means living off jalapeño carrots and tacos is inspiring.  

Ms Barrett has filled THE MEN’S GUIDE TO THE WOMEN’S BATHROOM with a cast of zany characters. When Claire isn’t getting fashion advice from her gay friend, she’s consoling her two friends through different relationship, while trying to figure out her own with one sexy hero; Jake Armstrong. 

This book is a definite must read. The chapters are short making you want to read more and more.
