This is a memoir about the author's privileged life growing up in New York as the daughter of a mom who cared more about shopping and gossip than her daughter's education.Once she reaches adulthood, she is faced with the real problems that come along with...well, adulthood.
I had little, ah, make that NO sympathy for the author - she complains about her three week honeymoon to Italy, comparing it to a POW's experience in Vietnam. Really?
The ending and what the author learns about herself is mildly redeeming, but just mildly so.
She's a good writer, but the complaining became rather tiresome.

Hey E!
I have decided to read one book a month for 2010 (I don't read unless absolutely necessary like for a class or something...even then I don't read the whole thing). Em sent me your link and I wanted to know out of the bazillions of books you've read, which do you think I might like?
