The Modern Girl's Guide to Life

Please do not waste your hard-earned money on this book like I did. It is a waste. The book is a compendium of common sense with a cute cover and a high price. Jane Buckingham's research consists of checking out a few websites (don't believe me? Read her bibliography in the back of the book). It's a mornoic book and and top of that, there were several sections that offended me. Especially when she talks about how "slobby" Ikea furniture is and how she never eats mayonnaise. Give me a break. I want advice from a "real" intelligent woman who has worked hard for what she's gotten. Not some skinny Duke grad trying to get rich off publishing information you can find faster by googling. I'm embarrassed I bought this one.

Supposedly is what the title says it is, but I must say this book is not for me. I would say this is a guide for a spoiled girl who got kicked out of her parent's mansion. I thought the first few chapters were ok, I just skimmed through what I thought applied to me, and skipped those that didn't or those that seemed ridiculous. I do not know anyone who I could recommend this book to. I would gift this book as an insult..."You don't know how to do anything." Some parts to me, it's like "Common Sense for Dummies."

A fun book with some very interesting ways of doing things. I have to say that I will never live down the how to train your man section of this book. *I never even read that part but it is the only part my boyfriend read*

Cute, Served the purpose of quick interesting tidbits on things women should/need to know. Wasn't too simple or common sense.
