I've read several coming of age novels and this one was just ok. I was stranded at the airport for the holidays and read this book as a way to pass the time. I didn't think this was an amusing, clever read.

A good book. A light and quick read. Alexa Hoffman is a character that you can relate to if you have ever tried to figure out what you want to do with your life. The book got into a couple of small parts that kinda dragged by but all in all a good book. I wasnt too thrilled with it but it was a funny and light book just what i needed then.

Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking when I was in that chick-lit frenzy. I just don't have the patience for these annoying characters anymore! This book's about a girl who is on a job hunt so she can move to New York and make it big. If she can't find a job in 9 months (honestly, 9 MONTHS!), she'll go and teach as a volunteer on a far off island instead. Every chapter describes an attempt at getting a job, but every time she's getting close, she decides it's not what she really wants and blows it. For someone who is apparently desperate, she applies very sparingly (only once every two weeks or month) and doesn't even go for the lowly jobs anyone could get. Thank god, actually, or the book would be even longer...

Having said that, I do have to admit that some parts were pretty good. The audition for a play, the poetry night and the very first interview were pretty funny and did have me laughing out loud. Also, the main character's relation with her boyfriend is somehow very 'real' and just plain cute.

Maybe okay for a not too critic beach reader, but I wouldn't recommend it. There's better chick-lit out there.

It was very cute. Easily a 1 day read.
