I loved this book. A friend read it, and passed it on to me saying, "but you have to give this back to me because after you is Jess, then Whitney, then..." HILARIOUS, but as I said in my title, I think it is for a really small demographic. That is: female, ages 26-33 (approximately, of course.) You really must be a child of the '80's to appreciate it fully, I think. I have lost several copies "lending" them to friends if that convinces you at all about how great this book is. I think the author is going for a young Carrie Bradshaw thing, and it works for her because it isn't all about NYC-- it's really about what happened first. I cannot wait to see what she writes next, because she is only going to get better with age!
