Citizen Girl by Nicola Kraus & Emma Mclaughin

 

Synopsis :

Working in a world where a college degree qualifies her to make photocopies and color-coordinate file folders, twenty-four-year-old Girl is struggling to keep up with the essential trinity of food, shelter, and student loans. So when she finally lands the job of her dreams she ignores her misgivings and concentrates on getting the job done...whatever that may be.


Sharply observed and devastatingly funny, Citizen Girl captures with biting accuracy what it means to be young and female in the new economy. A personal glimpse into an impersonal world, Citizen Girl is edgy and heartfelt, an entertaining read that is startlingly relevant.


This is what I say :

I can't remember when I read Citizen Girl.  It must have been about a year or more ago.

The main character is named Girl and she's quite a mess and being a mess lands her in many situation that could have been avoided if she's a bit more in control of her life. However, she's extremely nice and being nice is not necessary a good thing for Girl as she's gets a lot of taken advantage of especially at work.

I didn't quite like Citizen Girl but I completed it faithfully.
