5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for hip 20/30-somethings!, June 6, 2005

By	Caroline (New York City) - See all my reviews

This book really is a gem! Hardly a page goes by that doesn't remind me of something -- a shared joke, a fun night out with friends, an old boyfriend, a dating disaster that I now laugh about. So much of the book is right on target for me. It's a great little pick-me-up and I highly recommend it to all chicks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hip and Loads of Fun ;), September 13, 2005

By	Jessica "Grad Student" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This is the cutest little book I've seen in a while! Flipping through the pages, I'm reminided again and again of how lucky I am to be a girl! The reasons are so fitting- some made me smile, while some made me laugh out loud or feel a wave of nostalgia. Put it on your Christmas list this year!
