[Review] Girl Talk: Unsolicited Advice for Modern Ladies by Christie Young

Girl Talk: Unsolicited Advice for Modern LadiesGirl Talk

Breaking from the tradition of buttoned-up guides for girls, Girl Talk is an illustrated collection of hysterically funny and necessary reflections on life, love, and making it in the modern world.

Combining etiquette tips with true stories from her own not always quite together life, Christie Young proves herself to be adept around managing life’s vicissitudes. Whether you seek advice on handling running out of booze during the holidays or running into your ex on the subway, Girl Talkoffers the keys to coping in a world bereft of rhyme or reason.
 
Let’s talk about:

   • Realizing you look exactly like your boyfriend’s sister 
   • Overthinking text messages and analyzing emoticons 
   • Looking calm in a bar alone (without the help an iPhone) 
   • Accidentally stealing something from the farmer’s market 
   • Choosing between getting to work on time or showering 
   • Responding to a sexy text your uncle meant to send to his girlfriend 
   • Organizing your wardrobe, from crop tops to bolo ties 
   • Handling a roommate who rents out your living room to strangers 
   • Kicking your Netflix sci-fi marathon habit 

And much, much more.

review

I loved this. No I seriously did. There are not a lot of books that I could consider in "self-help" that would be for me but the humor and the whole aspect of "Girl Talk" was like talking to me. Everything from having big ears and weird butt to who not to invite to a party whether it's that weird uncle that you don't like or your neighbor who shouts HELLO every time he sees you. 

Girl Talk Pubslush Book Review

Unbelievably funny and very helpful. Some of the things I probably won't be using but I can see it being a perfect gift to someone younger who is still trying to figure themselves out. Awesome! 



I received this book free from the publisher through the Blogging for Books book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
