Customer Reviews

Loved this book in my early twenties, loved re-reading it in my mid/late-twenties

This book was a favorite of mine to read while commuting on the subway in NYC. It was so easy to relate to, my favorite part—“We got bills to pay, drunky”—forcing herself to be more aware of her spending even when out with friends. Bought this book because borrowing it on the Kindle wasn’t enough. Highly recommend for twenty-somethings looking to get it together or even laugh at the fact that no one has it together in their early twenties.
