Frankel here delivers sound, practical advice on a wide range of topics. It's highly entertaining and hilarious. Do you feel guilty having your own credit card or bank account separate from your husband's? How about having a four-day weekend without kids? How do you stay fit and in shape without dieting? Why can't parents have fun at a kid's birthday party? Who really wants chicken nuggets, parents or kids? Frankel (A Place of Yes) tackles these questions and more in her new book. She is fearless and does not hesitate to share information that is sure to help any modern woman who is trying to do it all. Reader Joy Osmanski will make listeners feel as though a good friend is gabbing with them on a long road trip. VERDICT This modern and honest approach to female empowerment will appeal to fans of the genre, as well as to those of Frankel herself.-Ledezma L.

Entrepreneur, reality TV star, and soon-to-be talk show host Frankel (Naturally Thin) offers a comprehensive guide to doing it all, with an emphasis on staying thin, healthy, and successful through work-life balance and organization. Her appealing confessional tone and admission of personal challenges with dieting and love make these otherwise mundane subjects (diet, exercise, and home organization) fun to read. She addresses her divorce up front and throughout the book, discussing it in the context of how she deals with stress and remains true to herself. While the title promises sex, there is little advice on this topic. The book, written with Adamson, features frequently humorous tips on how Frankel handles things, from what to eat during PMS or after a night of drinking, to working out, to how to host a great dinner party. The book is best suited to Frankel fans, as there are many references to her life-as shown on TV and in tabloids. But for those who admire her no-nonsense approach and ambition, this latest offering will likely be an inspiring read. Illus. Agent: Andy McNicol, William Morris Endeavor. (Aug.)
