I haven't read The Nanny Diaries yet; so, I can't compare Citizen Girl to previous work. I don't like this book, though.
I'm still in my twenties and find the main character boring and stupid. She's condescending even as she can't seem to figure out her own work role. While I didn't grow fond of her first boss, I found Girl, the main character with a ridiculous name, to be passive agressive which doesn't work for her or the reader. Girl is not someone that I want to see triumph. If she really was as together and wise as she thinks she is, I'd rather read about her adventures after listening to her mother as Girl starts her own company rather than being swept along by My Company's Guy, who obviously has yet another ridiculous name.
Overall, Citizen Girl is so annoying that I'm not sure I'll even make it to the end.
