I became aware of this book by pulling it against requested holds at the Lakeport Library and immediately placed a hold of my own through our catalog.
The Publisher's Weekly review for this book identifies Kirsch's background as former senior producer at Oxygen Media and author of its "Ask Princess" advice column. It states that Kirsch "specializes in helping young women face the challenges of life in the real world."
I was so impressed with this book that I put it on my Christmas list (having exhausted available renewals). My sister bought me a copy and brought it to Easter lunch. I believe I will refer to this book frequently and would include it in a YA collection.
