Review:
"Teen Vogue" The best-selling authors of "The Nanny Diaries" return with another mordant satire--this time they skewer self-important personalities of the twenty-first-century workplace.

"[A] sharp, funny satire....A The authors use a light touch that still hightlights key issuesA A for women in today's workplace (do you have to look hot to get ahead?)"

"--US weekly"

""Citizen Girl" takes shots at every single instance of one woman's confrontation with male society during the course of a few months. It does this while being wickedly funny and well written but not dogmatic or finger wagging."
"--The New Republic"

"From the authors of "The Nanny Diaries" comes the hilarious story of a recent college grad looking for the perfect job. Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus strike paydirt with their girl-meets-big-city formula.
"-- marie claire"

""[Citizen Girl]" is a pointed social satire about wry young women with integrity dropped into a swirl of Manhattan money and ambition."
--Alex Williams, "The New York Times"

"The best-selling authors of "The Nanny Diaries" return with another mordant satire--this time they skewer self-important personalities of the twenty-first-century workplace."
"--Teen Vogue"

"McLaughlin and Kraus deftly satirize postfeminist, postmodern, twenty-first-century America, using management jargon and hipster slang with equal precision. More remarkable is the subtlety with which Girl's story moves from the dreary-yet-familiar world of demanding bosses and unrewarding work into the realm of nightmares. The authors have conjured up a vision of America that's just this side of dystopian, and their funhouse-mirror worldview generates its own strange suspense."
--Booklist

"Young professional readers will relate to the degrading challenge of scraping for entry-level work in a lousy economy and the tyranny of clueless, selfish bosses. And McLaughlin and Kraus should be lauded for creating an old-school feminist heroine who knows where to draw the line."
--The Washington Post

"Citizen Girl takes shots at every single instance of one woman's confrontation with male society during the course of a few months. It does this while being wickedly funny and well written but not dogmatic or finger wagging."
--The New Republic
