Summary: All you need to survive? I don't think so.
Comment: Anna Johnson's style is fun and flamboyant, but you can't expect to get a basic grasp on important life skills from a two-inch-thick book. I'm only 20 and as a college senior, I already know most of this. The book may be helpful for younger readers, but some of her information is misguided, vague, or just plain wrong.
If you really want to give your daughter a grasp on life skills, try one of many books devoted to each important subject. For example, a good basic cookbook such as Joy of Cooking or a Good Housekeeping book is indispensable, and describes how to entertain, set the table, and cook basics (often with pictures). I love Cheryl Mendelson's "Home Comforts" - it covers not just cleaning, but buying items for your home, meal planning, and legalities, and is even well-suited to apartment dwellers. It's not as fun to read as this book, but far more useful. I see many people leave college without any idea how to maintain their home and finances; few people leave without a concept of fashion.
Basic finance books abound, and although I can't think of any fashion books offhand, anyone can pick up a magazine. Without any disrespect to Miss Johnson, her book reads as though she spends more time shopping than maintaining her office or home life.

Summary: Smart, funny, usually practical
Comment: Let's face it, girls: no amount of book-reading is going to magically transform the person that you naturally are into a cool and collected bombshell who looks like a million dollars in classy heels at all times and says the right thing in every situation, whether she's volunteering at a soup kitchen, breaking up with her partner, or whipping up something truly magnificent for dessert.
That said, it's easy enough to make simple changes to help yourself become more organized, take control of your life, feel more beautiful, improve your skills, and find joy in the simple things.
Anna Johnson's smart and sassy little pink guide is perfect for helping women everywhere do just that. She covers finances, entertaining, spirituality, happiness, tools, wardrobe, friendships, dating, jobs, careers, homes, depression, body image, love, and the responsibility to give back to our world. She's funny, her retro drawings are irresistably cute, and her savvy advice pulls no punches. Read it, think about how it works with who YOU are, and see how much fun you can have.

Summary: Adorable
Comment: I have lent this book to many of my girlfriends when they were feeling down. They all loved it. I love it because it covers so many fun topics and makes me feel glad that Im a girl! Yes, it is whimsical and silly, but that seems to be what the author is attempting to convey, that life shouldn't be taken too seriously. I think this is a charming book with many great ideas on how to balance your life with fun, responsibility, humor, and style. I recommend this book as a novelty gift.
