Book Description:
Another biting satire from Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Nanny Diaries.
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.

a satire about an American girl with a college degree in search of the perfect job...some parts are really funny and I could picture people I have met in the professional world as some of the characters...by the authors of The Nanny Diaries

Good book for anybody who love The Nanny Diaries or Devil Wears Prada. This book deals with a girl reporter trying to make good in the big city.

This is the story of Girl navigating her way through getting a start in Corporate America after college graduation. While over the top with some horrendous bosses, the experiences ring true on many levels and answers that burning question of 'what am I willing to compromise for a job in order to pay the bills?'

Hard to follow and understand at times. I got so angry at the main character for allowing everyone to walk all over her, and not saying anything. I was not impressed!

I found this hard to get into - the characters weren't engaging and I skimmed the last part of the book.

Cute, a bit confusing with the clever names, Girl, Guy, My Company, but a fun quick read!

Not nearly the caliber of McLaughlin's and Kraus' first book. However, the authors have a gift for character development; it is easy to relate to the way the main character feels. I thought of the characters as real people long after I finished reading the book. I had to remind myself that they are, in fact, just characters in a novel. I’m still a fan of The Nanny Diaries but would not recommend Citizen Girl.

Very disappointed in this book. I prefer "The Nanny Diaries" more. I was annoyed by the main character's name. Hard story to get through.

Jennifer P. (This book was disappointing. It wasnt as good as the Nanny Diaries. It frustrated me that the characters weren't even given a name, and the compnay. Shows lack of creativity.
