This is "The Devil Wears Prada" for hipsters. The author was an assistant at Jane magazine for many years. The novel is written from the perspective of Jill White, a thinly disguised version of Jane Pratt. She's a alternative hippie girl who grew up in a commune, went on to Ivy league schools, and then edited a quirky magazine for teen girls in her early 20s. She's a media wunderkid featured in Time. She gets really famous and becomes friends with other famous people. It's a fun read, but there doesn't seem to be enough tension to make for a very exciting plot. [This improves as the book goes on and the corporate folks get more feisty and awful. Then you find yourself rooting for Jill.] There are evil corporate bosses who keep trying to make the magazine more mainstream, and Jill doesn't have time to keep up with her old friends. That's about it. It's also annoying that they made the cover look EXACTLY like "The Devil Wears Prada." Oh, chick lit cliches, go away! Even the title isn't really representative of the novel. I have a feeling the author didn't pick it. The book is more about publishing than fashion. The book is about how a magazine that was meant to be unconventional, honest, feminist, and fun got corrupted by the machine of mainstream media. Sadly, it's a true story. I do think that Jane Pratt started off with the best of intentions for her magazine. Unfortunately, it turned into a fluffy piece of crap. I never really liked Jane. It seemed ditzy and without substance. It never lived up to what it was trying to be. And yet the announcement this week that the magazine is folding does make me a bit sad. At least it was a mainsteam mag for women that was trying to be a bit more savvy than the others. RIP Jane! I'll go back to reading my newest issue of Bust now. ;)
