Editorial Reviews

Blow-drying an eyelash curler is one of the craziest (and smartest!) beauty tips I've ever read, and that's just page 2 of this book. Twentysomething Girl is so full of similarly clever and useful advice that any reader can be sure to find plenty of wisdom she didn't know she needed.

Katie Heaney

If you are a girl in her 20's, you need this book! It has everything from basic beauty tips to practical tips for the professional! I wish I had this book years ago, because it surely would help guide any young woman through one of the most crucial and pivoting parts of life.

Katie Farrell

A must-read for all girls in their 20s who want to save money, make the right impression on their colleagues, and generally live smarter. Full of practical tips... from how to ask for a competitive salary (which most women still don't do) to how to give yourself a killer mani (advice from Deborah Lippmann, of all people). Would also make a great gift for a recent college grad!
