Editorial Review: The Men's Guide to the Women's Bathroom strives to answer life's most imponderable question: What Do Women Really Do in the Bathroom?
When the witty and urbane Claire St. John leaves New York City and returns to Austin, Texas, she realizes that all of the good advice she has ever received has been from strangers in the women's bathroom. If only she'd listened before she'd married the wrong man and wound up on the losing end of a divorce.
Swearing off men, Claire decides to take a big chance—she will quit her life as a lawyer and write the ultimate self-help book—a book detailing exactly what goes on in that most sacred feminine temple: the women's bathroom.
But will the new how-to guru ever learn to take her own advice? While she's discovering the truth behind the bathroom door, re-assimilating to Texas culture by eating "nuclear" jalapeño carrots, speeding down highways through the famed Texas hill country, and even joining an ill-fated booze cruise, Claire St. John is fighting her feelings for Jake Armstrong, a dashing organic food entrepreneur who threatens to throw off the balance of her new life. Will she be able to handle the pressure or will she watch her love life get flushed away?

Rating:  - Men's Guide to Women's Bathroom
This book was fun to read and is actually more for women who enjoy a little comic relief now and then. It is well written too. I read it very quickly which means it keep my interest. I highly recommend this book for women.
Rating:  - Turning female identity into sheer banality
Despite being the latest darling of the chick lit craze, Barrett's book suffers from a major flaw in characterization. Namely, how was Claire intelligent enough to get through law school despite suffering from such a woefully inept sense of humor and an inability to employ her brain beyond matters of choosing the right lipstick for landing herself a man? More troublesome than the sheer banality of these books is the way sassy one-liners have become a kind of shorthand in women's fiction for independent ... Read More
Rating:  - Generic chick lit
Claire St. John, recently moved back to Texas from New York after a painful divorce, has a breakthrough one drunken evening: she's going to write a book for men about what goes on in the ladies' room. The book will be filled with practical advice for the more clueless members of the species. The Men's Guide to the Women's Bathroom, the novel, is pretty much your standard chick lit, with the requisite cliches: the love interest, the gay best friend, and the nutty mother.

Rating: - Laugh a lot....
This is a light, fast paced and breezy chick lit book that I enjoyed reading. I loved that on every page there is something to chuckle and giggle about. The main character, Claire, was really easy to relate to because I think there's so much of her in every women. She's just one of many great characters in the book.
I haven't read anything by Jo Barrett, but now I plan on reading her next book.
Rating: - Entertaining, fun to read chick lit
