Anders, Gigi. Men May Come and Men May Go, But I've Still Got My Little
Pink Raincoat. Rayo: HarperCollins. Mar. 2007. c.272p. ISBN
0-06-111885-0 [ISBN 978-0-06-111885-2]. $19.95. SELF-HELP In a voice
reminiscent of Bridget Jones, Carrie Bradshaw, and Sophie Kinsella's
Becky Bloomwood comes this memoir by journalist Anders (JUBANA!: The
Awkwardly True and Dazzling Adventures of a Jewish Cubana Goddess), who
doesn't let a bad relationship get her down as long as she has an
impressive wardrobe. Through ten vignettes, Anders relates her passion
for hard-to-find articles of clothing and hard-to-pin-down boyfriends.
Her quest includes finding the perfect red lipstick to entice the Snob,
mother-of-pearl earrings to win the Cowboy Poet's heart, and peach silk
lingerie to snare her dermatologist. While the book doesn't offer real
self-help help, it does provide women with an opportunity to laugh at
themselves. Recommended for most libraries as a draw for younger women.
