The Big Life

February 15, 2017
For readers who are eager to make a mark on the world, Shoket, author of several Seventeen beauty and style guides as well as the magazine's former editor in chief, has plenty of tips. Stemmed from her own drive to not only succeed but to live life to the fullest, Shoket's self-help guidebook for millennial women, in particular, provides a steady reading journey on how to get it all: the dream job, the supportive significant other, and the money to support a fabulous lifestyle. It's jam-packed with fun and effective do-it-yourself must-tries, including hosting a badass babes dinner (consisting of good food, fun playlists, and conversation that gets participants thinking: What's my passion project? ), along with tips from other women to help sort out the hard stuff (like if your job isn't eager to support your growth, it's time to move on). With a friendly tone and avid advice, this quick read will have readers amped up for that new life path faster than it takes to turn the page.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
