Previously on Whom You Know, Bethenny was featured for "A Place of Yes":

She's got one of the best attitudes around, and if men don't appreciate her, it's their loss!
Her straightforward, honest approach in this new work is refreshing and absolutely worth the read.  Bethenny knows what she is looking for, and we applaud the list and sticking to it.  We disagree that she "sucks" at relationships; when you read her explanations, they make a lot of sense.  However, there is wisdom in her words and lessons to be learned from the stories she tells openly.

We applaud her for her vague references to those that she had been in relationships with; she shows a lot of class in this book not pointing fingers exactly.  Also, it's helpful to know her therapist weighs in periodically to give a professional opinion on various situations.  Healthy fighting, the simplicity of men, and knowing what you need are key topics that she covers well.  Knowing when to let go of the hook is key to read.  She's right.

Bethenny, we are sorry to hear you once dated someone that did not care about food.  How sad for him. Signs that you do and signs that you do not have a future together are very accurately put by Ms. Frankel quite well.  And, do not miss the chapter on money-another star topic.

Her advice is good, and you need this book for the context it provides.  We like what she says about onions....I Suck at Relationships so You Don't Have to is Recommended by Whom You Know.

***
Bethenny Frankel is good at many things—being an entrepreneur, mom, and TV star—but when it comes to relationships, she is the first to admit that she has had many failures. The good news is, in working through the mistakes, she has already learned many things about what she doesn’t want, that she won’t accept, and that she shouldn’t settle for. And most importantly, she still believes in love and that her perfect relationship is still to come.



Filled with a mix of candid personal stories and the no-nonsense advice she’s known for, I SUCK AT RELATIONSHIPS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO: 10 Rules for Not Screwing Up Your Happily Ever After (Touchstone Hardcover / April 7, 2015; $24.99; ISBN: 978-1-4516-6741-7), written with Eve Adamson, is the next step on Bethenny’s A Place of Yes journey. This is a book by someone who has made many relationship mistakes and knows a thing or two because of it. Bethenny takes a deep look at her own dating and relationship history and gets to the heart of the mistakes women make and what it takes to find and sustain a meaningful connection. Look for Bethenny’s take on hot topics such as: understanding your man; the dos and don’ts of dating; how to trust your gut; and much more.



Despite all her relationship disasters, Bethenny remains an optimist; she keeps going, keeps trying, and continues to open her heart to love. She holds that failure ultimately adds up to something and, that in the end, all mishaps are stair steps to a greater success.
