I was at Barnes and Noble trying to find a good book to read and I picked up a couple options but ended up going with Citizen Girl by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. The back of the book doesn't really say what it's about but I loved The Nanny Diaries which is by the same authors so when I got home I went online and looked at the reviews which were terrible. People said it was "trashy" "confusing" and "terrible." Reading the reviews made me want to read it more because I wanted to know what people were talking about. I have to say I do agree with a bunch of the negative comments. I didn't love this book but I also didn't hate it. The idea of the story they were trying to tell was perfect and really relatable being a recent college graduate just joining the workforce. However maybe the way they did it wasn't quite right. Another thing is the book was a bit dirty and awkward. I would probably not recommend this book but I do like the idea behind the book.
The main idea of the book is about a girl named Girl who is a college graduate who is trying to find her place in the workforce where she doesn't have to do things against her morals but also make money in order to have food, pay student loans and have a home. Plus throw in some relationship problems and that describes more than half the 24 year olds I know.
Thanks for being here,
