In the bestselling tradition of The Devil Wears Prada comes a witty and revealing novel set in the book publishing industry.
Jane Truman has spent six years at a top publishing house patiently waiting to be promoted to editor and stretching her ridiculously small salary as far as it will go. But her life is about to miraculously change. Fresh from an ugly breakup, she is dragged by her best friend to an art gallery opening where she bumps into the man she lusted after all through college Randall Cox, a man with friends in high places. When the top editor at a rival publishing house calls her the next morning, Jane suddenly finds herself with a new job worth three times her old salary. Unfortunately, her new boss, Vivian Grant, is even worse than the industry gossip has led Jane to believe. From middle-of-the-night phone calls and impossible demands to ridiculous hours and over-the-top tantrums, Vivian piles on the work...and the abuse. Now, as Jane's new job demands more and more of her time and her soul, will Randall Cox remain her Prince Charming?

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA meets the publishing industry. Claire Truman is engaged to her college crush, but her romantic fantasies pale in the face of the reality of her overworked fiancé. At the same time, her friendship with a burgeoning male author holds more attraction than she'd like to admit. Claire's prestigious publishing job is highly stressful and unavoidably ugly--she works for Vivian Grant, an abusive, raging, smut-drawn diva, who issues unreasonable demands at all hours. Lynde Houck drapes words with sarcasm, delivers sentences with wit, and puts fabulous oomph and humor into Grant's temper tantrums. Houck's performance shows her ability to switch emotions rapidly as she strips the veneer of glamour from Claire's world. S.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
