The Handsome Host
Hosting For Men Made Simple, Funny and Stress-Free
"Let's be honest — the men in our lives are wonderful. They're also remarkably comfortable acting as guests at their own parties — drink in hand, completely relaxed, while the rest of us quietly make everything happen. I wrote this book for the women who are ready to change that, and for the men — partnered or flying solo — who are about to discover that a little awareness and confidence goes a long way. Consider it a gift. Literally."
