Not Working--#11 finished

A 20 something woman in England is having trouble deciding what to do with her life.  She has quit her job in order to focus on finding something that she would enjoy doing and not just a job.  Her longtime boyfriend is a resident becoming a doctor.  Conflicts come up with her parents, her boyfriend and friends.  She has a rough time of actually getting anything done or accomplished but after a few blowups the book does end with her sounding like she has come through this time and will be ok.  A good read, that overall I enjoyed.  I remember the stresses of life when trying to decide what to do when your education and desires didn't really point you in any direction.  She sees people around her that she knew in college, etc that are now making good money and talking about starting a family and she seems to think time has passed her by.  Like I said earlier though by end of book she has seemed to adopt an attitude that she will get a job and if it doesn't work will try something else, the pressure of finding the perfect job is no longer there.

There are no copies on PBS and no WL for this version of the book.  Other versions show like 8 WL for it though so I am figuring it will get requested.  I did post it on PBS already.
