From one very fabulous and elusive little pink raincoat (to woo one commitment-phobe) to a pair of very persuasive peach panties (a gift from a dazzling doc), Gigi Anders relates her obsessions with clothing and men through a series of beautifully crafted vignettes. Side-splitting and sharply observed, these true stories chronicle ten classically glamorous and hard-to-find items (from clothing to accessories to makeup), the corresponding hard-to-pin-down boyfriends—and the quest to nail them both.
Anders delivers a tasty, uplifting, and universal meditation on the things we crave and the lengths we'll go to get them. Women everywhere will recognize themselves in this book.

"Anders paints a colorful portrait of the enduring struggle for love, passion, understanding and the perfect accessory. Every woman can relate to at least one, if not all, of the vignettes. Anders pulls no punches with the reader . . . she is a single woman who enjoys herself and her independence. Her honesty and candid reparte is refreshing. This book will make you smile and send you running for the closest mall . . . "

Janey (Rocky River, OH)
"Gigi Anders compares much sought after clothes and accessories with the man she is trying to woo at the time. This book is a clever way at looking at two things that mean the most to a woman...her appearance and her man!! Because the book is made up of 10 separate chapters, each focusing on her 'must have' item and her 'flavor of the week', it is the kind of book you can savor in little bites or all in one sitting. While not everyone woman will relate to Ms. Anders vast life experiences, the girl in all of us will enjoy her quest for the perfect little pink rain coat and the perfect man."

"Gigi Anders recalls her exuberant love life with a Sex and the City-esque feel to it. Pink Raincoat was a delightfully feminine read, fun and sexy."

"This is an entertaining and interesting look at how our deepest desires in life are often connected to what we want in the moment. Who says the perfect accessory can't make us feel a little better about not finding the perfect man?! Anders made me want to go on my own personal voyage to find my own little pink raincoat!"
