The best quote: "If you are going to spend frivolously, spend on experiences, not things!"

A fun book to read. Nice to get a woman's point of view on some of the things men wonder about.

This was a great guide for young, professional, black women who is venturing out and navigating the world. Very relatable and nostalgic.

A familiar turn down the blog ABIB. Demetria's writing is relatable - her stories are the type of experiences my friends and I had in our formative years.

I was a regular reader of Belle's blog so I was already familiar with her writing...
I don't think this book offers any grand or revelatory advice, but I do think there are lessons in the stories. Some of it should be common sense but it was an enjoyable read none the less.

On point review! Lucas is brutally honest and personable - A MUST READ! (title is misleading... Not a "go-to advice book)....
