Lauren Weisberger gives a twist to the whiny story of a small town girl working under a high-powered fashion editor-in-chief.

Andrea Sachs is fresh out of college and finds herself the junior assistant to THE Miranda Priestley, fashion magazine, Runway, editor-in-chief. She had hoped that this job would land her the dream job at the New Yorker.

In a office that revolves around top labels like Prada, Armani, Versace, etc, Andrea stands out like a sore thumb in her G2000. But she is determined to fit in and last out a year of Miranda Priestley's tedious and ridiculously impossible demands. From delivering the not-in-stores-yet Harry Potter to Miranda's twin daughters to finding antiques in unknown shops, Andrea is expected to fulfill every demand to Miranda's expectations. Her motivation? A recommendation from Miranda that will get her a top job at any magazine of her choosing.

On her side is her boyfriend, Alex. He is sensitive, smart, the whole package. But along comes drop-dead gorgeous and arrogant Christian (not to mention he is also a famous writer) to give it all an interesting twist. Her friend Lisa, who is quite dependent on Andrea, is also by her side. With her new job, can Andrea juggle between spending time with Lisa and running impossible errands for Miranda? Also, is the job 'a million girls would die for' worth the ridiculous hours, the unbelievable stress, the people around her and ultimately, her soul?

With witty criticism at every corner at every setback, Weisberger gives the reader an entertaining and humorous experience.

I found this book an entertaining read. The descriptive writing style helps give the reader a clear insight to how Andrea feels and how things are around her.

However, the descriptive style was very extensive at some parts. It was just too distracting from the storyline. It was simply overly descriptive. This was the thing that had made me glad when I had finally finished the book.

I had begun this review highlighting Lauren Weisberger's craft to (almost) change this whiny story to something entertaining and interesting. But at some parts, the frustration just kicks as to how whiny Andrea was. Other than this, I was also annoyed with some of Andrea's dilemmas. She had managed to make a mountain out of a molehill out of some of the simpler things. The plot was also sometimes over the top and exaggerated.

Despite these gripes, I found it a pretty good read. Even though I had felt slightly glad that the story ended, I had also felt that it ended too soon. The read was witty and was definitely entertaining. For example, some of the lines that come out from Miranda's mouth are truly sarcastic and hilarious. My kind of humour. And of course, this book has been adapted to the big screen as well, an indication of its laugh-factor. Even for those not interested in fashion, you will appreciate this story as well!

Thanks for reading, have a good day.

"That's all."
