Picked this up on a whim at the library The suggestions for using your social network to improve your spending and saving habits were great, as was the chapter specifically on making more money.
But for a book designed to help women form better financial habits, talking about shopping on practically every page is not helpful. It wasn't that the five women profiled had especially materialistic goals (we all have some of those) but sometimes its tips seemed to focus more on saving money More...

Ok, unless you know nothing about personal finances then this book is not for you. I guess most women don't know how much they send, or how to make a budget.

I was nearly 2/3 of the way through this book before I finally decided I had had enough. It was boring, and I could never keep the names of the five ladies and their stories straight.

Maybe they can help me? Maybe not. As financial guru Dave Ramsey says, "YOU are the problem with your finances." Or something like that.
