I could see where this book could be a good reality check for the well-adjusted, or the not so well adjusted, really. I’m familiar with a lot of the situations she describes, but I think me and the women around me are starting to be able to transcend a lot of the issues that come with discomfort with our competetive natures. I think I’m generally pretty aware of when I’m feeling jealousy, and I certainly don’t make the demands on my friendships that the author describes. Hopefully my work future will also manage to avoid the sticky situations I have so far…

Anyway, worth a read, it goes quite quickly and gives you lots of opportunities to re-evaluate your own relationships.
