This review is from: Revelations From A 45-Pound Purse (Paperback)

Cathy expresses many single girls'un-verbalized feelings. She represents women who wish they were married but have been hoodwinked by society's trend that marriage sells a woman short of her potential. If you are the type of person who is gung-ho about her career and personal achievement, you probably will not like this book. If you admit that women are different than men and that everyone has his/her frivolous side, then you may enjoy watching Cathy trying to figure out how best to survive.
