The plot is: Crazy boss demands crazy thing (repeat ad nauseum). Girl who is too good for anyone and too cool to care still cares too much (to the detriment of herself, her best friend, and her boyfriend) until she decides to stop caring at the last moment. There was no character depth for Miranda like there was in the movie, I wasn't invested in Lily or Alex, and Christian was nauseating and cheesy. Andy had no growth at all and was frankly annoying. One of the most fun parts of the movie, and something woven all throughout the book, is the fashion - but this being a book, you don't get to really enjoy that. All in all, I was entertained enough through it to finish, but wouldn't read it again and prefer the movie a hundred times.
