The full title of Ellen White’s Simply Irresistible is actually Simply Irresistible: Unleash Your Inner Siren and Mesmerize Any Man, With Help from the Most Famous–and Infamous–women in History. Yes, that’s a mouthful, Ms. White. Even still, I’m intrigued.

Although the Amazon description doesn’t say much, the premise is very promising. And, at around $10 right now, it’s not like it’s a huge gamble. If you’re single, definitely check it out. If you’re committed, even better. Read it, learn to practice the ancient art of male captivation, and help your man appreciate what he has.

In junior high and high school, I was always one of those girls who lost all ability to speak around cute boys. An incredibly hot older guy once asked me to dance (I’m pretty sure he was just being nice since a “friend” told him I had a massive crush on him) and I wasn’t even able to stand up. It was pretty traumatizing at the time.

Had I been gifted a book like this, I may have had much more success. Of course, I could have also ended up like all the “successful” girls from my school - pregnant by 18 and totally washed up by 25 - so maybe we should think of Simply Irresistible as more of a “grown-up” book. Yeah, let’s go with that.

As for the gay men trying to attract men or the lesbians trying to captivate other women, I have no clue if the techniques in Simply Irresistible: Unleash Your Inner Siren and Mesmerize Any Man, With Help from the Most Famous–and Infamous–women in History will work. Can anyone comment on this?
