book review!

commencement by j.courtney sullivan

i liked this one. easy, easy summer read. it's a little like sisterhood of the traveling pants...but post-grad, feminist, smith alums-- instead of childhood friends (& rory gilmore in greece. BTW what is rory doing on mad men?! grandma emily would be scandalized, on the other hand, lorelai would probs approve). sullivan uses four characters to paint a pretty comprehensive portrait of modern post-grad young women. through these four best friends she attempts to answer the question facing all young women today: when you can do anything you want, what the heck do you do??
