I picked this up because it looked interesting and well, it was. It wasn't memorable, though, or even intriguing. After a couple of stages, it got to be downright boring. The extremes she portrays are annoying- she doesn't admit that there could be anything bad about the Party Girl phase, and she offers no helpful advice about dieting, just lists off instances where dieting will fail, which I don't think is helpful at all. So I got bored after a while, but I didn't send it back to the library immediately because it had good quotes.

So, one-sided book with cool quotes and semi-entertaining scenarios. ( )

Are you a Dollarless Diva, Body-Conscious Babe, or Crisis Chick? Maybe you’ve been all three! As a follow up to her popular breakup book I Used to Miss Him…But Now My Aim Is Improving, Alison James takes you on a journey of self-exploration of the 10 women you’ll be or maybe have already been before the age of 35. Using humor to share her wisdom, James explores all the stages of womanhood from the New Graduate to the True You. In each of the 10 stages James lists survival tips, lessons you will learn, and shares funny quotes from women who have been there. Regardless of your age, you’re sure to relate to one of the 10 women you’ll be! ( )

This book was overly simplistic regarding the changes that women go through in their life time. Although a lot of her assessments were dead on their is a multitude of changes and personalities women take on that were not even touched upon. It was an entertaining read. ( )

This light and entertaining book comes off as pure Chick Lit fluff at first, but it actually offers some encouraging insights and helpful advice. The New Graduate phase, for example, can be frightening and chaotic, but the book assures the reader she'll soon be competent and confident. However, once the reader hits the Worker Bee phase, she must reach back into her New Graduate days and resurrect some of her old wild-and-crazy attitude. Above all, the book stresses that one should value and draw on all of one's phases, in a balanced way, rather than going off the deep end -- either as a reckless Party Girl, or a fitness-obsessed Body Conscious Babe. While this book is no serious therapeutic treatise, it's a great reminder that we all have to grow up and go through the same awkward phases, that they will eventually end, and that none of us are alone.

Funny and informative, I enjoyed it very much! ( )
