While I had a few smiles while reading this book, I'm sadly disappointed in it. I had hoped for something a little less generic. The charts were also somewhat difficult to follow as I was reading this as an ebook, which means one page at a time. Sadly this is one I would recommend a pass on.

I'm too old for this, but I'm sure some teen would enjoy this a lot! ugh but not me! (sorry)

What an unpleasant book! Either I am a tragically unhip millennial, or this book picks out the worst aspects of my generation. Nothing but booze, pettiness, misery, and attempts at wit that just come across as tasteless. It is a pity, because the art and text is quite pretty and well executed, but what it says is just awful. I am not sure who this book is for, but it most definitely was not me.

5/5 for the art style but a 1/5 for content. The beatiful art and calligraphy in the book is presented as flow charts. Though the information on the flow charts is meant to be cute and silly, some made me raise my eyebrow in concern. The cliché stereotype of women represented in this book is troubling to me. Normally, I am very into guided journals, artistic self help books, and inspiring art books, but I could not enjoy this one as much as I was hoping I would.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy of the ebook.

An overly brash book, for overly brash women (seriously, it name-checks Sex and the City without irony, as if it were ever something to aspire to), concerning overly brash subjects, such as online behaviour, drinking behaviour, dating behaviour et al. The flaw, beyond its, er, brashness, is that it's mostly composed of those should-I-shouldn't-I flow charts and decision diagrams, which make no sense in this artwork as they seldom come to a conclusion. So 80% per cent flawed concept, 90% brashness, and 100% stereotype and cliché. Not a good data-set.
