Brooklynite Melissa Kirsch’s literary credentials are vast. She has written for New York magazine, National Geographic Traveler, Nerve and Good Housekeeping, and has been consulted as an expert for Glamour, Jezebel and Cosmopolitan. But her new book, “The Girl’s Guide,” may prove to be her best work yet.

A colossal cheat sheet for women in their twenties and mid-thirties, “The Girl’s Guide” by Melissa Kirsch is an indispensible resource for finding your way in the world. Hailed as “a veritable bible” (Newsday) and “required reading for any woman with ambition” (Susan Jane Gilman), “The Girl’s Guide” offers fresh insight into issues new and old, from friendship to sex to work (and play).

Ever feel overwhelmed at the idea of paying off student loans or navigating the complex world of copays and deductibles? Want to know how to clean up your digital reputation before you start looking for a new job? Need help picking a roommate? Not sure how to build a good online dating profile or properly juggle “friends with benefits”? “The Girl’s Guide” will help you handle it all with grace and confidence.

Delivered with Kirsch’s intelligence, humor, and wit, it’s filled with advice from sexperts, therapists, a nutritionist, an internist and more. The Girl’s Guide is the perfect combination of solid advice and been-there secrets, as if your best friend were giving you the smartest advice in the world.

The book is out April 7.
