Elizabeth Hilts

I recently won this book and since I am a subscriber to the real Every Day magazine and watch her shows once in awhile, I wanted to read it right away. I read this book in an hour, but it was an enjoyable hour. I was very impressed with the way Hilts was able to mimic so much of Rachael Ray's style in her magazine and put it into the book...with a twist. Some of my favorites from the book were: 1- The Big Deal Kitchen Fix. They showed before and after photos of a kitchen with basically dirty show more dishes, poor lighting, clutter and then an after photo with a new sparkling kitchen with all items put neatly away and a new rug on the floor!

2- The Burgers of the Month. She listed a breakfast burger with eggs, bacon, and a burger on 2 powdered donuts, or the Thanksgiving burger with ground turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and gravy on corn bread.

So, obviously Elizabeth Hilts has a great sense of humor and a creative flair. Hopefully the real Rachael Ray is laughing along as well. It was an enjoyable, humorous, quick and easy read. I plan to donate my copy to our local library so others can enjoy it as well! Thanks to http://www.myfriendamysblog.com for sending me this copy! show less

Amusing and thought-provoking...and easily read in a single sitting. I recommend this to all those who suffer from Toxic Niceness. There's even a chapter to help men get in touch with their Inner Prince. Good stuff.

This is a funny and wise book. It deals with the problems of toxic niceness while focusing on relationships.

This book really didn't teach me anything I didn't already know about being an assertive, straightforward woman. However, it really did make me feel empowered. It's a typical self-help book that draws on common sense and doesn't reveal any big secrets.
