Book: Fashionistas by Lynn Messina
Book Description:
Life at Fashionista magazine can be a real bitch. Especially when you work for one.
Vig Morgan finally worked her way out of the assistant-for-the-bitch-from-hell trenches only to get stuck in a sea of editors. But Vig isn't like the other associate editors at the aggressively hip and overwhelmingly current Fashionista magazine. For one thing, she couldn't care less which star wore which designer to which party. Sure, she's clever and witty - and just as ambitious as the next overqualified underpaid underling, but she would never get drawn into a plot to depose the evil editor-in-chief. Or would she?
Jump with Vig into the choppy waters of scheming, backstabbing, free speech, flirtation and fashion, as the lackeys at the bottom of the masthead band together to take down the queen at the top, with some unexpected - but not necessarily unpleasant - results.

My Review:
I thought Fashionistas was just ok, it had a few cute and funny moments but nothing really spectacular. In fact it was rather boring. The plot focused on Vig and few other co-workers trying to get rid of Jane, the horrible boss. I think this would have been much more interesting and funny if the characters were more likeable and less one-dimensional. The characters had no real distinct personalities that I could see and they were easily interchangeable.
I really do wish this book would have been better, it had the potential but kind of fell flat.
