Slipping into drop crotch shorts and a boxed sequin blazer in the dressing room of Topshop in downtown Manhattan, a broken-hearted Leandra Medine had an epiphany. Looking in the mirror, she suddenly realised she didn t have a boyfriend because of the way she dressed. And the more she thought about it, the more she realised that such outfits said a lot about her life romantic and otherwise.



Showcasing the singular voice that has made Leandra s blog a worldwide phenomenon, this book is a collection of awkwardly funny experiences, a sweet love story, and above all, a reminder to celebrate and embrace a world made for women, by women.

The Man Repeller is a series of essays from blogger Leandra Medine, and it is fantastic! Medine portrays scenarios that are at times very funny but also at times quite sad and also relatable. Highly recommended for anyone who has even the slightest addiction to fashion!

When I found out the Man Repeller was writing a book I was so excited! I love her blog, so why wouldn't I love her book? Of course, the answer to that is obvious in the 5-stars I gave it. So, if you're a fan, you won't be disappointed. Don't worry if you're not a fashion person though. There is fashion in the book, but the book isn't 'fashion-y'. Its all tld so wonderfully, you won't even care what she's writing about!

A warning, it is addictive & you won't be able to put it down. I had an impressively quick turn around with this book. Its short, sweet & punchy.

Medine writes wittily, making the everyday seem extraordinary & the extraordinary seem everyday. Its a very female book (see the chapter on period panties & ensuing discussion of 'feminine mishaps'), told from a (very) female perspective. And in no way is this a bad thing. Its really part of Medine's philosophy: for women, and only women, always. We could all learn a lot from the Man Repeller's approach to life, and we'd most likely be much happier for it.
