Ohhh they piss me off. I don't need paragraphs about her schedule!! No real character development, we're just back where we started BUT I had fun on the journey it took me on and that's what matters
Compelling enough scenario to justify finishing the book but truly horribly written.

The infamous tale of the naive newbie chasing an NYC career who ends up working for the taskmaster fashion magazine boss from hell. Everyone’s rich or trying to be, snobby or a brown-noser, clawing up the corporate ladder or perched snootily at the top. Everyone’s definitely thin and trying to stay that way.
With how thirsty the protagonist/narrator is for this dReAm JoB, it’s hard to muster sympathy when it costs her her relationships, and the borderline cheating subplot just tips her scale into straight up irritating. Basically takes her a year and 400-odd pages to stop being a doormat.
It’s well written but the author’s copious fashion and makeup knowledge drops just become tedious towards the end.
The (pretty, young, white female) friend getting off easy for her violent DUI crash in a country where black and brown people are jailed for years over petty crimes was the cherry on top of this pretentious sundae lol.
Tales like this just don’t hit the same in the capitalist hell we’re currently living in. NYC dream life or not, could never be me. Your one wild and precious life is WAY too short for this shxt.

Can’t wait to read the sequel!
While Miranda is supposed to be the boss from hell, somehow her friends are the real villains of this story. Absolutely self-righteous assholes who don’t care to understand her circumstances.
Not a fun book for those with stressful jobs.

This book was actually quite awful. It's so dated and just aged like milk in some parts. The only reason I read this was that I wanted to watch the movie. I haven’t watched it yet but now I hesitate to. It was just so repetitive and I couldn’t find it in me to truly care about any of the conflicts. The characters were awful and one-dimensional. I finished this but at what cost now I’m feeling like I’m entering a reading slump.
You can tell this was written pre-recession because of Andrea's ability to snag an interview at the most prestigious fashion magazine with nothing more impressive on her résumé than an ice cream scooper and student newspaper writer.
