Summary

Move over, Dear Abby, here come The Advice Ladies!

It all started in a Manhattan diner. A lovelorn waiter sought advice from the three sassy women he was serving—and The Advice Ladies were born. Inspired by their success with the young man, they set up a table on a street corner in Soho and began to offer their expert advice services to strangers—free of charge! Soon advice seekers came in droves asking anything and everything about romance. Hilariously captured in Free Advice, The Advice Ladies offer their pearls of wisdom on these and other subjects:

• Love & Dating (also Marriage)
• Getting Rid of Your Jerk
• Wardrobe & Makeovers
• Proper Etiquette
• Wigs & Beards
• The Personals
• Meeting People
• Entertaining
• New Identities
• Cheap Dates
• Recessionary Lifestyles
• Jealousy
• Talking to Strangers
• Office Romance
• Getting Dumped
• Staging a Seduction
• Conflict Management
• Personal Merchandising
• Negativity Lessons (Learning to Say “No”)

From their confidential files, their personal experiences, and their unfailing insight, Amy, Caroline, and Marlowe show everyone how to bypass years of therapy and attack their problems head-on.
