Manhattan On The Rocks

By Janice Harayda

When twenty-five-year-old Laura Smart moves from Cleveland to Manhattan to take a job at a magazine, she hopes the world will become her oyster-her Fendi Oyster (this year's must-have handbag) to be exact. Instead, Laura has to deal with the demands of her self-absorbed and quirky boss-the talk-show host turned magazine editor, Cassandra Lovelace. Laura, a Holly Golightly-type character, finds her own romantic and professional redemption in a novel that hilariously sends up the sex-and-celebrity-obsessed world of contemporary women's magazines. Written from the insider's perspective of a former senior editor of Glamour, Manhattan on the Rocks is a sharply observed comedy of manners with a take-no-prisoners spirit. This is a novel for every woman who has ever known in her heart that-even as her world is collapsing all around her-she needs only a Glamour makeover to save her life from ruin.

Summer Beach Reading - Or Winter By the Fire

A great, light read. Well written, well paced, and tells an interesting story about a young woman's adventures in New York. Probably more of a woman's novel, but an entertaining book.

Typical, but cute chick lit

I thought this was a really cute, light and fluffy read!!!! Typical chick lit, but a fun read!!!! I liked the main character alot and was interested to see what happened to her over the course of the book!!! Not the best I've read, but by far, not the worst!!!
