The actual handbag is neither here nor there-- it's what you keep in it that's the most important thing.
Tehát végül is azt hiszem, a könyv eredeti címe, a How to be a Woman kicsit félrevezető. A botladozó, rémisztő és csodálatos évek alatt végig azt hittem, hogy amit akarok, az, hogy nővé váljak. Germai...
