Editorial Review:
Born in the U.S.A....
American gals are taking liberties -- and pursuing happiness on their own terms -- in this star-studded story collection featuring the nation's red-hot women writers.
They've declared their independence!
Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes) learns "The Truth About Nigel" -- and the trouble with falling for an incognito Hollywood actor. Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada) sends a single New Yorker on a backpacking trip halfway around the world -- where she sees her love life back home with new eyes -- in "The Bamboo Confessions." A harried mom with a hit novel crosses the pond in "My Great Brit Book Tour" by Adriana Trigiani (Lucia, Lucia), and turns a crumbling talk show appearance into a sweet success. Also uniting their talents in this free-spirited anthology are
JULIANNA BAGGOTT • CINDY CHUPACK • LYNDA CURNYN • QUINN DALTON • LAUREN HENDERSON • JUDI HENDRICKS • GRETCHEN LASKAS • CLAIRE LaZEBNIK • CHRIS MANBY • SARAH MLYNOWSKI • MELISSA SENATE • JILL SMOLINSKI • NANCY SPARLING • LAURA WOLF

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Just OK
I kind of felt like just when I started getting into a story it ended.. maybe short stories arent for me. If you do like just clips of stories this is a good book
Rating: - Great exposure
For the most part, I loved this book. "American Girls About Town" showcases 17 different writers, featuring some of the best writers in this genre of "Chick Lit."
I would simply buy this book for the chocolate cake recipe in "My Great Brit Tour" by Adriana Trigiani and for the wit, humor and emotion in "Leaving a Light On" by Claire LaZebnik, "Five" by Julianna Baggott, "The Truth About Nigel" by Jennifer Weiner and "The Bamboo Confessions" by Lauren Weisberger.

Rating: - Fun Fun Fun
Out of the 13 short stories, I enjoyed 10 thoroughly. A great way to discover some authors I was unfamiliar with. A great investment.
Rating: - Funny and Tender
I bought this book because I'm an avid fan of Jennifer Weiner. As a result I have been introduced to the fun and whimsical writing of the other authors who contributed their short stories.
Each short story is engaging and very entertaining.
Rating: - Fun to read!!
The book was great- I dont usually like short stories but it was perfect for when I was working out or just needed a quick break from reality!
