The Big Life by Ann Shoket (New York, Rodale 2017)
Why you should read it: ‘Cause you’re a young professional who wants to kickaas in your career. Ann is the former editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine (cue nostalgia as Seventeen was one of my favorite magazines when I was growing up), and definitely has her finger on the pulse of the issues facing young women as they take those big first steps into professional power.
