This is a good book, very "chick lit" with less romantic intrigue than usual (a good thing to me.) Magnolia works as Editor-In-Chief of a magazine when it is taken away from her, and she becomes 2nd chair to a loud-mouthed celebrity wanting to compete with Oprah. Magnolia's patience throughout the book, while it is a virtue and serves her well, strikes me as a little unrealistic. But who reads these books for realism? This is an enjoyable read, well worth the wait if there is a waiting list. More about friendships and good work ethics than the usual chick lit book, I recommend this to anyone. No sex scenes in this story, which will relieve some readers and disappoint others. My rating: 4 out of 5 stars :)

I just LOVED this book. I am a big Rosie fan and I felt like I was
getting a peep at the whole magazine debacle. I know parts of this were
probably exaggerated but still completely enjoyed the book!!

A good non-thinking read. Good Beach Book. My only complaint is the type is very small! If you're looking for something fun, this could be the one.

A fun read. Koslow gives us an insider's perspective on the world of magazine publishing and all the glitz and glam that goes with it. The limo-lifestyle of the higher echelons grates on me a bit (very shallow, very pretentious),but it was tempered by the sweet naivete of our heroine, Maggie. As the storyline develops, there is more depth than I expected, and that was the saving grace of the book for me. If you enjoyed 'The Devil Wears Prada', you will also enjoy this one.
