Why I gave up consuming this — 4 years ago
Total nonsense. I got more than halfway through before I decided to save my sanity and JUST SAY NO by giving up on it. Honestly, the general suckiness was even further intensified by the characters’ too-fucking-twee names. Girl? Guy? Buster? Argh.

Agreed
You would probably expect more from the authors of “The Nanny Diaries” (well, I did). I finished this one, but just barely. Stereotypes are reinforced to the maximum, and although I can identify w/ the main character’s plight to an extent (post-grad), the book proves half-hearted.
The plot of this story never really takes off; nothing is really developed and though feminism seems to be a common theme, you’re left wondering if you made any progress at all.
