It was a well written book, the humor was fine, yet very direct. I didn‘t agree on a few statement she made (I‘m not quite remembering everything), also namesdropping Lady GaGa and describing an event Moran and GaGa has been to kind of sounded like a violation of privacy. It sometimes felt like Moran was putting up a rule book on how to behave and not behave.

Loved it. Caitlin Morans writing is honest, on point. Reading the book, I believed her every word and could relate quite a lot which made me really happy! Edit: Okay, I just read some other reviews and was quite stunned. I realize that Moran's vulgar language doesn't make her especially likable and sometimes might even be offensive. I gave five stars because I didn't expect some feminist manifesto but just the opinion of a woman a little older than me on some topics. This may be having children, having a wedding, buying an overly expensive and in the end useless handbag, stereotypes produced by the media and society as well as such harsh topics as abortion. By no means is this a book you should read if you want a feminist manifesto or don't like vulgar language, talking about drug abuse etc. I enjoyed the book because it's funny to me and relates to me and my personal life in some ways. This not a recipe to follow but states what's wrong with the world - sometimes in a prejudiced manner towards men and women. I think this book is meant to be as a help to think about one or the other topic and is by no means meant to equal Simone de Beauvoir or so.
