review 1: This book took me by surprise. I thought it would be a light and fun chick lit-style story, but it proved to be deeper and even more enjoyable. I found the growth and struggle of Michaela (Mike) believable and moving. As the reader you sort of see her growth before she does. And the fact that she slips back into old patterns came across as very human. The inclusion of two strong older woman characters was really fabulous. I both laughed and cried with this book and would highly recommend it.
review 2: God, I haven't read an american book in like forever! This book was about a girl who acts like a Dude and doesn't have like any girl friends. Her mentor and boss gets fired from the ad agency they work at and she gets fired with him. Because she has been suc... moreh a bitch all these years and her boss is like a total outcast now, she can't seem to get any work anywhere. Her new step mother gets her a job teaching some like home ec type class at the school she used to work at and she ends up changing it and teaching the girls how to act and get by in New York City, which I thought was kind of different and good. There is also some storyline where her best friend, who of course, is a Dude from Australia (yay!) and he is like in love with her but she doesn't know it. Of course, they get together in the end and the Girl learns a valuable lesson on not being a bitch.Probably my least favourite part of the book was that this girl seems all tough and bitchy, but then she relies too much on her boss and mentor. If she was so strong willed and independent, she would have relied on no one. Also, she was a total bitch and treated people like shit (and of course was so beautiful at the same time and therefore still always got what she wanted) and then when she finally didn't get everything, she was like all pissed. That was kind of annoying. I did like her interaction with the kids a lot though.Grade: C less
