The Girlfriend's Guide to Gods, by Maria Dahvana Headley

This is mainstream feminist writing--men are disappointing. Many of us guys actually know that. I second the reviewer below that recommended it for teenage girls--it is a good antidote to overly romantic thinking, but I think many would outgrow this quickly. It is written with skill, and I think we will see more of this author.

My Goodreads Review

Give Her Honey When You Hear Her Scream, by Maria Dahvana Headley

Give Her Honey When You Hear Her Scream is a nice little story, but kind of difficult to read.  Star-crossed lovers with powerful exes are always a good starting point, but Headley is trying just a bit too hard to make it fun and clever.  In a few places she crosses that fine line between a distant, interesting metaphor and just wandering off.  I liked it ok, but would say "nice try" rather than award winner.  2 stars from me.
