The Xmas Files – the philosophy of Christmas

Any She Can Do I Can Do Better
Rachael Oakes-Ash
Random House
RRP: $22.95
SheSaid Price: $20.66
About the book: Have you coveted, envied, admired another woman’s hair, shoes, bag, job, husband, figure or weight this morning? Chances are you’re competitive – not that you’ll admit it. The unspoken truth about women and competition is something previously swept under the carpet like menstruation and masturbation. Rachel Oakes-Ash has the honesty of your best friend with the humour of a stand-up comedian mixed into one hilarious yet very thought-provoking read.
Perfect for you! A great book to get you in the mood for making meaningful New Year’s resolutions…
