Negative Positive
Title: lame
Review: i love a good chick book, especially one about ivy league girls trying to make it in manhattan, but this was pathetic. the only upside was that it is a very quick read, so you could find out what happens to the ridiculous protagonist with a minimal time investment.the characters are dreadful, ex. our "hero" andrea gets quiet revenge on Runway by stealing from the company (buying macchiatos for the homeless, leaving extravagent tips). the do-gooder boyfriend character becomes unbearably self-righteous. and the book couldn't deal with alcohol and sex addiction in a more flippant way. it all ends up making the "Devil" look good - focused, demanding, over-the-top, but delivering on all promises and totally predictable.if you've ever had a demanding boss, worked in a remotely glamorous industry, lived in a big city, or had to work your way up a corporate ladder, you will find this book trite and foolish. i will be very surprised if i ever see the author's writings anywhere near the New Yorker.
