This was a good read! I’ve seen the movie so had an idea of what the book was about. It follows Andy’s journey as an assistant to one of the top fashion magazine editors in the world. I do think the story dragged on a bit in a few spots, but I would recommend this book as a good summer vacation read!

The ending is basically the only good thing about this book. It does what it does really well - but man, do I hate Miranda. Also, firmly in the camp that Andi’s friends and family and boyfriend had every right to be pissed at her.
