Another great book
After thinking to read Act like a lady, think like a man and Straight talk by Mr. Harvey, I saw La La's book online and purchased it along with the others and vowed to read all of them. I felt that I should get a males opinion on mastering this male versus female love connection as much as a females opinion. La La has such an unusual name so I wanted to know who she is. However, in keeping up with sports is minus zero, therefore, her husband would have not have sounded any alarms. I am a children's author for Can you see my hand? A lesson on faith. As an author you should support others. Here is my support.Mrs. Anthony makes three agreeable points that can be found in the preview of her book. 1. Women need to support one another rather than putting them down. 2. She states the same point that Mr. Harvey points out in Act like a lady, think like a man. ¨Standards¨ They are important-Men do respect them. 3. She talks about giving all of yourself too soon; while, Harvey says 90 days.When she speaks about a girls father being the first man to shape the personality of their daughters and their view towards the man she would choose to date, I found it being all so real.Reading her book brought back memories. John the stepfather-The sheltered childhood-Wanting to do things but couldn't. After reading these three books, they opened a gate for me to start writing my own book. It may not be about love but it's my story. I kept saying to myself while reading, they are telling my story before I tell my story. Oddly, it is them and their life. So great someone I can empathize with on a few points.I did find it righteous of her to own up to her own mistakes which made me feel sad for her with reason behind the results. She talked about never say never. On the other hand I found it really cool of her to be able to call in some friends to be bouncers in the time of need when kicking Doug out of her house. A threat with a kitchen Knife or the cops would also have came in handy.I admired the disciplinary actions that Mrs. Anthony took with her son Kiyan in regards to his comments ¨Why does everyone hates daddy?¨ and the reason in order to resolve him no longer wanting to wear his cool spiderman jacket.Mrs. Anthony says ¨A man will take advantage of a insecure woman¨ who is ¨Jealous and brings too much drama.¨ ¨There is nothing more attractive to a man than a secure, independent woman.¨ She says¨Be a queen¨ ¨Spend time working on yourself.¨Totally agree. If you can't trust him, why be with him. No, time for worrying about a man being where he should be. It's like when your child gets potty trained and learns to walk. What a relief that is?Your man did not come with crutches (metaphorically) before you married him; so, why do he need crutches now. Gentle reminders fine but he should have his stuff together. Like when you buy something from the store. It may say batteries included or required. Either you know what you need before you get to the counter if you read the label. Does he operate by remote. Can press the button, come home; than he will come home.Free one night a year pass- Yes! we agree. Words from the reviewer ¨Take your lying, Cheating, STD gotta have and gonna have out of my place.It is a awesome set up. Being different from the crowd, I totally agree.The reminder of the game as being in the game. Time Out-Overtime-Double Overtime-Final Buzzer.Review Add On!I am a optimist. I try to see the author for who she is and what she is trying to present. Don't be sadly mistaken her book shocked me as well. Her book has 15 chapters and a 13 year old would not enjoy it because every thing she speaks of is unacceptable for a 13 year old. Maybe the first chapter would have been entertaining. She had a great deal of good points that are suitable for every age. I saw a book that teaches one clear prospective that everyone can and should see; regardless if you do it the wrong way or the right way you may just in up in the same place. You don't have to agree but it is true in most cases because, God pours down blessing on both the Just and the Unjust. Everyone gets blessed. What is preferred is that everyone does it the right way because the wrong comes with tons or loads of unwanted and needed baggage, which is hard to get away from.

Great book!!!
It was a really great book. Just from watching her show you can tell LaLa has a great heart and is real. Her book just showed that she is the same person on tv and in her personal life behind the scenes. It makes you reflect back on choices and decisions you've made in the past. It also helps you remember that a heart break isn't the end of the world and there is another door waiting to be opened that's full of happiness and more adventures.

Great read
I love to read... Especially self help books. I like this book because La La offers some real, practical, and sound advice from a unique perspective of the game of basketball. I particularly like how she uses her own life as an example of how things can play out in love. I recommend this book to any woman who is ready to get serious about love and to all those who are still just fooling around for some insight to what love can look like when you're ready to play to win. Thanks La La!

Great Book!!
I wanted to read this book because i was going thru something with a guy I liked. I heard alot of good things about this book so I decided to buy it finally. I read the book in 3 days. I didnt know that she was going to touch on her life.. past and present... i thought.. ..okay is this a tell all? but it got very interesting. She also started to incorporate the real life stories with a piece of advice. So i started to see how she was giving the ladies advice. She also touched on the issue i was going thru..she hit it dead on the nail. Needless to say i knew what i was going to do after reading her book.

Down to Earth
I thoroughly enjoyed this book I read it in about 3 days. La La is so down to earth and doesn't try to complicate her story or her experiences in life. There were times where I was like "Yea girl I feel you on that one." I always liked La La's demeanor and her personality because I am very similar and the book was so easy to relate too. I heard about the book because Steve Harvey was interviewing La La on his radio show. Great read!

decent reading material
I do not read a lot of books but this one sparked my interest so after reading ill have to say its a decent book, kind of jumps around on the timeline of the book, and does not give her opinionated guidelines to love, sex and happiness like I thought it would by reading the cover of the book, just is basically a documentary of her life and a little bit of other people involved in her life over the years. But interesting enough for me to finish the book.

Loved it
I enjoyed reading this book. I'm so happy I came across it. I literally read it all in one sitting. I feel so refreshed and have a positive outlook of life, love, and more importantly living my life the way that makes me happy. I know that in life good and bad things happen and Lala does a great job letting us know it's ok not to know all the answers and to go through all the punches life throws and get right back up. And to remember never to hold judgment on your self. If you're a young woman in need of love, life, family matters I totally recommend this book was written for you.

Great
This is a great book and gives a good insight into the author is life and the mistakes she made not using the principles she discusses in the book. Some of the information your will read in other books about relationships but I found her delivery of the information to great and it has actually stuck in my and I am acting on it.
