I read this despite my fears that it would just like "The Devil Wears Prada" with a different setting. I am happy to say it is a much better book. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the characters much better and I understood their motivations better. Vivian Grant makes the boss in "Devil" look sane. The story makes you root for Claire because we have all worked for a boss that does the things she does because she can. Give this book a chance. If you liked "The Devil Wears Prada" you will love this book. If you did not, give this book a try you might get a welcomed surprise like I did.
