Kira has been chosen for an elite unpaid intership at Skirt Magazine in New York City. Quickly she learns that hard work does not necessarily overcome money and influence. Daphne, another intern, is also the boss’s daughter so even though she takes long lunches and fails to do much work she is expected to get the coveted intern’s position for the editor in chief. Kira decides to throw herself into her work and compete for the prize. At the same time, Kira finds she is attracted to Daphne’s boyfriend, a photographer who also works at the magazine. Kira often wonders how one person can get everything just because she is rich and gorgeous.
This novel is similar to the Devil Wears Prada, but also puts its own spin on working in the fashion industry. For example, Kira is acknowledged for her hard work, just not always in the way she would like. The characters in this book are fun, interesting, and always hopeful for their uncertain futures. Stereotypes, nepotism, friendship, and fashion are all themes in this book and anyone who loves fashion will enjoy this story.
