Along the lines of the Devil Wears Prada, only in the book publishing industry. Comical. Easy, enjoyable read.

This is chick-lit chum with a capital C. You can read it in one day--by the pool, on a plane, or in the bathroom when you're not feeling well. Just like The Devil Wears Prada, except the author, in real life, worked for a nortorious book publisher (who I BELIEVE has the initials J.R., and had her imprint with HarperCollins...) and not a magazine editor. It was a good, realistic look inside the world of book publishing--the long hours, heavy editorial work, and horrible bosses & coworkers. However it was very VERY predictable. It rushed its way through a lot of things, and the relationship with the boyfriend was stupid. He was really dull w/all the unoriginal stereotypical qualities of the rich boyfriend character--one who is perfect on the outside but has nothing in the head or the heart (or the pants). I cannot 100% slam it, since it WAS fun, and it's OK to get it through something like PBS. But if you're not plus w/credits, put it at the back of the line.

Really fun! But not as good as "The Devil Wears Prada."

Great book- think "Devil Wears Prada" set in the publishing world with a little older heroine. My book has a red cover instead of blue as shown for some reason.

Fast read, moves quickly. Some things seemed a little contrived, but still a good read. I enjoyed it. :)
