Citizen Girl
Citizen Girl - Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus
Pretty good. This was a birthday gift from the pregnant sister-in-law. They also wrote The Nanny Diaries, which I haven't read. If it was left in front of me, I'd probably pick it up, but based on this novel, I didn't add it to my To Be Read list. Something that bothers me: what happens to the people who don't have strong networks and connections? What machina ex deus swoops in for the average person and helps them salvage their career, personal life, etc.? I don't have wealthy patrons or relatives, and I don't think most people do. So why do we keep reading about people who have these massive safety nets?
