Relatable journey through one very realistic young woman's late 20th-century journey from a uncertain childhood, through a self-doubting adolescence, to an aimless young adulthood and, finally, to some well-earned clarity about who she is, what she wants, and what growing up is for. I especially loved the episodic format, almost a series of connected short stories that comprise snapshots at key periods of the narrators' life. So, so wry and funny. Especially recommended if you enjoyed Melissa Bank's previous novel, _A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing_.
