Do not buy "Citizen Girl."

It's by the people who wrote "The Nanny Diaries", but it sucks ass. I can't even make myself finish it.

I hate it. I am so bored with it. I have OCD issues, so it's hard for me to stop in mid-read, but....it's so boring that I have been reading it for weeks. I just couldn't care less about the characters. Very disappointing.

I read it, but mainly because I didn't have anything else compelling to read at the time. The fact that her name was Girl pissed me off.

See, I didn't mind "The Nanny Diaries."

I don't have very high expectations of chicklit. I read it because it's fluff. I much prefer someone who writes chicklit for what it is, rather than trying to cram too much depth into it. (Jennifer Weiner, I'm looking at you. :grumble )

I know what you're saying about chicklit, but at the same time, I really appreciate that Jennifer Weiner actually asks her readers to *think* while also entertaining them. She is the gold standard by which all modern chicklit should be judged!

BWAH!! I love your sense of humour :rofl Weiner is so one-note, IMHO.
