It&#39;s by the authors of the &quot;Nannie Diaries&quot; (which I enjoyed) and it is all about balancing reality with idealism, but with a healthy dose of sarcasm at what feminism is degrading into.&#160; I appreciated Girl&#39;s starry eyed dreams about what could be, and completely understood the rough position of having to choose between ideals and unemployment.&#160; It also painted a very good picture of one who compromises and compromises until they don&#39;t hardly recognize what they&#39;re about anymore.&#160; This book was funny,&#160; insightful,&#160; scathing, true to life,&#160; stereotypical,&#160; and&#160; fantastical&#160; all in one book.&#160; Enjoying and thought provoking.&#160;&#160; Don&#39;t listen to it on CD as I did though, as the narrator often tried to sing (mistake)&#160; and do accents (Manchester is just not her thing).
