When life hands university students at a boutique New York college lemons in the way of poor post-graduation job prospects, seniors Melanie and Stephanie, along with junior Edie, decide to make limoncello. Saddled with mounting student loan debt and obsessed with the desire to live a life outside the dregs of a future cubicle, the trio forge a path for themselves on the already crowded road of fast money. Moving quickly through the levels of the sex-for-sale industry, they soon find their need for higher education dwindling. With the help of Edie's ex-con boyfriend, they transform themselves from three broke girls into the Three Blonde Mafia by learning that sometimes the only way forward is by using what you already have. Sometimes Being a Girl is All U Need is the first in the Three Blonde Mafia trilogy.
