Little Pink Slips by Sally Koslow
3.0
If I could rate the book with 2.5 stars I would. It fell somewhere between "it was OK" and "liked it."
This book was written by the editor at McCall's magazine when the magazine was taken over by Rosie O'Donnell. She took that experience and penned this novel (which very closely mirrored those events funny enough). It has been compared to The Devil Wears Prada so I jumped into this story very excited only to come out the end very disappointed.
The first 100 pages were so boring. I could barely keep my interest and other books were calling out that were so much more exciting. I forced myself to push on, and as I got closer to the end I found myself wondering how things would play out, but frankly I could not empathize with Magnolia and could not care about what happened to her. I loved The Devil Wears Prada and this did not meet those standards. While the end was interesting, this was not.
If you want to know what happens in this story, just Wikipedia Rosie O'Donnell and read what happened to her magazine. Then change Rosie into a younger more sexualized girl and POOF - there is your story. I saved you tons of time!
