Title: This was so bad - what the heck did the publisher pay for?
Review: With all the hype, I was expecting something different - as in a well written, interesting book. Instead, it was so boring I had to stop before I even read 75 pages. How many times can you read, "I want to work for the New Yorker" and page after page of "horrible" things her boss does. Where's the story? Where's the character depth and something beyond the obvious? I love chic lit, so it's not like I wanted War and Peace, but the people in the book aren't characters, they're charicatures, kinda like a bad sit com. It's her first book, so I don't really hold it against the author, but the publisher and editor should have known better. This was just such a weak effort, you've gotta wonder what the heck they were thinking.
Is the review positive or negative?
