If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?
240 pages; Grove
These essays are packed with uncensored advice that's both sensitive and saucy. For instance, Heimel explains what to do to get the right man: "Nothing." The right man will adore you, she writes, even if you have "greasy hair, spinach in your teeth, and your skirt on inside out." Why accept anything less?
