I liked this book because even though it was classic chic lit, it diverted from some of the cliche's. Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of them in there, but there were a few different story lines going on and everything wasn't always as predictable as expected which was really nice. I still never fell in love with the main character (she seemed to just let life happen TO her) but it was a fun fluff read.

A charming tale written at a quick pace to keep you interested. A good summer time read for the beach.

I loved the Second Assistand and the First Assistand was even better. I really hope a third is in the works.

In the spirit of the Devil Wears Prada, but where the "bosses" are more lovable (if still pretty crazy and demanding). I could not put this book down, as the storyline surprised me at various turns and I liked the main character enough that I wanted to see how things turned out for her. One of those books that I was happy to spend the $$ to buy hardback. It was recommended to me by someone who prowls the NYTimes Sunday book section for current reads, and she was right. Great beach reading, the advertisement promised-- and it was half right. The other half is that it's great reading anytime.

Very funny! It's the sequel to "The Second Assistant". If you liked "The Nanny Diaires" or "The Devil Wears Prada" you'll like this one too.
