If
you happen to be in a career situation where waking up everyday to
cater to the whim of your devil-incarnate boss is the highlight of your
day, then this book is for you. True, it deals entirely on fashion and
other vanity-laden stuff this world has to offer, but it could touch
your heart if you let it. Plus, it's not so bad to be acquainted with
beautiful things like Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik shoes, or couture
dresses from Chanel, Prada, and Loius Vuitton. It's actually liberating
to know that even those people with jobs "a million girls would die for" do also live a pathetic and hellish life in exchange for so-called prestige in the publishing industry. That is the life of Andrea Sachs, fresh out of college, who got the job as Miranda Priestley's assistant, the editor-in-chief of Runway, the no. 1 fashion magazine, a job "a million girls would die for"...
...And
it's up to her how she can cope and just suck it all up as long as she
can, destroying the few good relationships she has but still emerging
victorious towards the end. This book shows its intended readers that
there is life after fashion, beauty and glamour. For people like Andrea
Sachs, it's up to you where to draw the line. In the end, the
opportunities can be boundless.
