Turning her attention to women’s need for a more balanced life, the author touches upon all the major roles a woman plays at home, at work, and with her partner, as well as the pressure of keeping herself healthy. The book reads like a personal conversation with Vargas, and the stories that illustrate her points help readers feel they are not alone. Vargas gives sound and practical advice in a positive, uplifting, and motivating tone. The text, which ranges from how to handle a divorce to suggestions on asking for a raise at work, is laid out with bulleted information, pull quotes, red highlights, and summary lists of recommendations. An easy-to-read guide that women will return to again and again, this is highly recommended for public libraries and bookstores
