2 out of 5 stars Boring.   October 29, 2008
 1 out of 4 found this review helpful

I was hopeful that this book would be funny, and it's not even close. I thought it was boring.


5 out of 5 stars Just Browsing   October 9, 2008
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

I was just browsing in one of the airport book shops with no plans to purchase a book. I am in recovery from an eating disorder and when I saw this title it immediately drew me to the book. I started reading it and from the very first paragraph I could relate, not in a recovered eating disorder way but in a life way. I remembered when I myself lived in New York, it brought back so many of those teenaged memories. I had to buy it. I read the book by the time my trip was over. I loved it and would reccomend it to any female who is looking for those fun reminders of growing up and becomming a young adult.


5 out of 5 stars Funny and fun, nothing too deep...   October 9, 2008

This is a great book with all sorts of weird hilarious stories. At times it falls short, but it's worth the entertaintment value. Most of us can relate to these awkward bizarre experiences. And New Yorkers will love it!


3 out of 5 stars sort of amusing   September 24, 2008

i didn't relate to much of what she wrote about. yet, it still had a few entertaining parts to me. i wouldn't recommend it to most people, but i'm not sorry i read it either. wow, this probably isn't a very helpful review. oh well. read it, or not. your call. (although, if someone hyped up this book, you will probably find it disappointing.)


3 out of 5 stars Want a Pony?   September 20, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

The beginning was a little slow for me, but I thought the essays (which really read more like short stories) were enjoyable and honest. This is a quick read that I would especially recommend for anyone who has ever considered the following: living in New York City, a career in publishing, volunteering, baking, or going veggie.
