Book Reviews of The Modern Girl's Guide to Life

Book Review: Not very good
Summary: 1 Stars

I am a great devotee of The Modern Woman's Guide to Life which was published back in 1988. But I thought I would pick this more-up-to-date book for a friend's daughter about to graduate college. What a mistake. I was so underwhelmed by the book's lack of serious and interesting advice that I hesitated to give it to her. Instead I bought a used copy of Modern Woman's Guide and gave it to her. She loves it. She used it to fix her toilet, found out what to do when lightening strikes, learned the parts of her cat's anatomy, and followed the advice for dressing for the first date. I then gave her the Girl book, and said she might be able to use both. She looked through it and said I should return the Girl book, and use the money to buy her a wrench. So I did.

Summary of The Modern Girl's Guide to Life

A stylishly smart collection of practical advice for the busy modern woman

With information on entertaining, etiquette, housekeeping, basic home repair, decorating, sex, and beauty, this indispensable book has everything today's young woman should know-but may not! The Modern Girl's Guide to Life is a collection of all the helpful tips and secrets that get passed on from generation to generation, but many of us have somehow missed. It's full of practical, definitive advice on the basics -- the day-to-day necessities like finding a bra that fits, balancing a checkbook, making a decent cup of coffee, and hemming a pair of pants. Modern Girl guru Jane Buckingham includes loads of savvy counsel to help us feel more refined, in charge, and together as we navigate the rocky terrain that is twenty-first-century womanhood.
