I read a favorable blurb in Newsweek about this book and therefore decided to read it. I myself have struggled with my career aspirations and with trying to mesh reality with my dream of what I thought adulthood would be like, so I had high hopes for this book. I found the first few chapters engaging and compelling and then I began to get . . . bored. The author teases you with the hope of upcoming revelations but then never gets around to making any sort of point. The whole book is rambling and disjointed and lacks any sort of a central theme. I also feel like the author contradicts herself by gladly embracing that which she earlier purports to reject (i.e., a glossy magazine lifestyle). Also (and I know this is a petty point, but I can't help it) her tendency to begin sentences with "For" (as a synonym for "Because") drove me absolutely CRAZY! It sounds so artificial and stilted! Overall, a disappointing read.
