'Real Housewives of New York' Star Bethenny Frankel's Relationship Advice Book Bombs at Bookstores
Bethenny Frankel's new romance advice book has yet to ignite passion at bookstores.
Radar Online reports to date the "Real Housewives of New York" star's "I Suck at Relationships" has sold just 6,000 copies, almost certainly leaving it languishing far behind others of that genre.
By direct comparison, Kim Kardashian's widely panned and highly unsuccessful "Selfish," sold 32,000 copies over its first two months of availability, more than six times the sales the Nielsen BookScan U.S. Consumer Market Panels reports for Frankel since April.
"I was disappointed to find her book full of generic stereotypes backed up by nondescript stories," one reviewer wrote on Amazon.
"None of her personality, which after all, is her cachet, is present in this book," another said.
Fortunately, for the 44-year-old said she recently scored a seven-figure deal to return to "Real Housewives," and much of her "SkinnyGirl" brand has been reported to be doing well.
As far as actual romance goes, Frankel has recently been rumored to be dating "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet, and reports are he has traveled to both New York City and the Hamptons to visit her.
"They have so much fun together," a source told Us Weekly of the pair who met in April. "They're seeing where it goes."
For her part, Frankel has been coy about it all and has even gone so far as to deny the two have spent as much time together as what has been previously reported.
"They are friends and have a lot o friends in the same circle," said a source. "They definitely are fond of each other and like each other but it's not serious.
Back in March, Frankel split from financier boyfriend Mac Cerussi after the two had been dating for more than a year. In December of 2012, Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy called it quits after just two years of matrimony and were ultimately locked in a bitter custody battle over 5-year-old daughter Bryn.
