Kate White is one busy woman. When she isn t helming Cosmopolitan magazine as editor-in-chief, she is writing her wonderfully wicked mystery novel series starring Bailey Weggins or penning sly self-help volumes like How to Set His Thighs on Fire .
I thought that the advice in this book hit the mark. I wish I would have had it right when I got out of high school. I gave it to my daughter who recently graduated because I knew that she would be able to apply these 'secrets' to her life. She covers business, romance, connections, etc. Very insightful reading.
It isn't often I come across a book that really seems to speak directly to me. I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in less than four hours. I kept thinking I wished this author was a friend of mine. I can't say I would try all the ways she talked about to get my way, but I relished the thought of more than a few of the suggestions! I live in a small town in South Dakota. Life is not that complicated here like it might be in a larger city. I adored this book, it's a KEEPER, one to be read regularly in life!
Kate White tells it like it is. Her writing style is entertaining, effective, and humorous. I enjoyed her "just between us girls" tone. I've found myself going back to some of her advice and applying it successfully in my everyday life. She may espouse material pleasures--i.e., getting a massage, buying a beautiful outfit--but, for better or worse, we live in a materialistic world. And what's wrong with using some of your hard-earned cash to make yourself feel good?
This is not a case of 'well, it worked the first time, let's try it again and see if it sells'! I love her appealing, chatty style of writing and eye-catching titles (it must come from her years of working at magazines), and all those inspiring quotes and tips from successful gutsy women. This book is filled with more ways to get what you want -in fact, I think you can use a little imagination and try to use her suggestions to make anything more creative. The main point of this book is similar to her first one, "Why Good Girls Don't Get Ahead and Gutsy Girls Do!", which is why one might think that they are the same but I assure you, it's worth it! Three cheers for Kate White!
