Review: Small Gem of a Book

I quite liked this short read that struck the right balance between personal anecdote and researched information, and also the right balance of humor, so that funny lines were unexpected and never felt forced (loved the "carat of unobtainium"). I think the author speaks intelligently within the small window of engagement rings about how complicated it can be to be a woman of her generation and my generation (ahem, I'm older than she is), and how the smallest decisions--particularly about getting married--drip with heavy ramifications about our "feminism." We have decisions that our mothers didn't have, and that is both a freedom and a burden.
