I breezed through this book very quickly. The writing style was very "autobiography conversational" and humorous, in a comedian-knowing-this-book-needs-to-be-funny-and-trying-a-little-too-hard kind of way. I know that some people can be irritated by the feeling that a book is trying to hard, but in a memoir, I personally find it endearing rather than aggravating.
As far as content goes, I did enjoy her self-deprecating honesty. I loved hearing how her career got started, and focusing on someone in the spotlight and successful who also happens to be introverted or socially awkward. I think the message was great for teenaged girls and twenty-somethings (like myself) - at least for the most part. It was focused on a woman who is comfortable with herself and sharing some of her less flattering moments or moments of self-doubt that successful women seem to have a hard time talking about. For me, it was a little happy ending/find a man driven at times, but A) this is true for many of the women reading the book, and B) this is her life so who am I to try and revise her inner thoughts?
If this book were longer or tough to get through, I would hesitate to recommend it. However, I flitted through in just a couple days and recommend it as such. Would be great for a plane or beach, or just a weekend where you don't want to tackle the epic novel you've been pulling through.
