I really don't have much to say about this book, as I only got to 11%. Let me try to gather my thoughts. This book is obviously a money-making attempt.

How is that my fault? I can't stand not self-efficient people. The main character is Andrea Sachs . She had been travelling around Asia for about a year, and when she gets back, she tries to get a job in the publishing industry. Now this wasn't written recently, but we all know that newspapers are dying. So when she actually gets a job in a women's magazine that is able to hire her, we al...
