The Story
When Merrill Markoe -- successful comedian, two-time author, and four-time Emmy award-winner -- looked back at her life's loves she found a long track record with few successes. In the name of curious women everywhere, she decided to venture into the world of self-help seminars and telepsychics to uncover what promised to be a veritable treasure trove of helpful secrets.In this hilarious collection, Markoe walks ground that the average woman, lost in the sea of the Unsuccessful Relationship, would never step on. In addition to disclosing coveted 'Secretz of Seduction' and sharing her hard-earned tips on 'How to Date a Crazy Person', she meets a love channeler who claims to get advice from a being living a quarter-million years in the future and attends a hands-on class on how to administer oral sex. Then, after picking through a mountain of Hallmark cards, wearing fake breasts for a month, and meeting with people 'transformed' by love, Markoe emerges with this refreshingly smart collection of observations that will come in comic aid to women in distress everywhere. This is a bold, brazen, and brilliantly funny take on love and sex in the self-help world of the nineties.
