Summary:
Claire is having a crazy day. She's just gotten news that her mentor is leaving the publishing company she works for, and now the little bit of attention she'd been getting for her projects will be practically null. Her best friend Bea asks her to come to a gallery opening, and when Claire arrives, she finds the man she crushed on as a college student. And now he's interested in her! And he's going to get her a job with the best publisher in the city! The book follows Claire for a year after this fateful day, all the way to her wedding day, where she's about to marry that man, Randall. But is it normal to have this many doubts on your wedding day?
Thoughts:
It's a poor man's Devil Wears Prada. Quite literally, it's the same story, as Claire gets crapped on at every turn, and the boss is an unholy bitch. Only it's a book publisher, not a magazine publisher. Pretty much most other things in the story are the same. This was just written three years later, and it has a wedding in the mix. It was vaguely amusing, and not really much to talk about compared with DWP. I feel like I liked this book better than DWP, but only a little. I vaguely remember being annoyed by DWP when I read it. Past that, I wouldn't bother with this one if you've read the original. No wonder this was on the bargain rack.
