A Virgin's Guide to Everything: From Sushi to Sample Sales--A Novice's Handbook to Doing It Right by Lauren McCutcheon

From the Publisher

You can admit it-you're a virgin. Everyone was at one point. And no, we're not talking about sex. We don't care who you've slept with (okay, we do, but that will have to wait for another book). What we're talking about is that you've never before been to a wine tasting, bought real art (posters from college don't count), had a personal trainer, nor known the proper way to eat or order sushi. Life is full of firsts-thankfully this book is here to help. This perfect guide for Virgins, non-and Born-Again Virgins, makes sure that your first times (or second or third) are done right. Filled with advice from Go-to-Girls who are experts in their fields, A VIRGIN'S GUIDE TO EVERYTHING is like having a cool, older sister who's always willing to show you the way.

Library Journal

Writing in a breezy, chick-lit style, Philadelphia-based writer McCutcheon advises women on encountering new and potentially intimidating experiences (except sex, despite the provocative title). Practical advice can be found on attending one's first cocktail party, buying a first piece of art, and dating a single parent. The author takes on a serious tone when discussing STDs and breast lumps, encouraging readers to seek professional help when needed. Though geared to the 25-35 crowd, this book will suit any woman over the age of 18. For all libraries. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
