The comparison to the Devil Wears Prada, but for the literary set, is pretty accurate. As a reader I was 100% behind Noora as she gets her foot in the door at Vinyl magazine and tries to fulfil her dream to be a writer and voice for future generations to turn to as they navigate the world. I was on edge as I read her dream felt like nothing but as she dealt with her over-demanding and demeaning boss, rumor spreading co-workers and self-interested love-interest. Other characters in the book also demand reader attention, especially the caring Saffron who offers Noora support and friendship early in the book. This novel will definitely appeal to young readers as they face hurdles as they go for their dreams and hope that they'll have the courage, support and love for the world that Noora exemplifies.
