As the author of the Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy, I was online checking out the competition and happened upon this title. Since my first Girlfriends' Guide was published around 1995 with six other Guides of similar titles following in the subsequent years and as recently as Jan. 2007 with the Second Edition of the Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy, I am now accustomed to being ripped off in one way or another, but it is always the girls who live in my backyard who try to capture the Girlfriends' Guide 'tude and flavor that really chafe my hide. Modern Girl's Guide? Hello? Is the eureka moment of inspiration really so rare that we need to rip off our successful sisters? No one was writing Girl's or Girls' guides to anything except perhaps camping until 1995. Is it just serendipity that brought so many other mother writers to this neck of the woods or were the camp signs already up and clearly marking the way? vicki iovine
