Fairly simple plots and characters. Comparisons with The Devil Wears Prada could be easily found. A young woman from the mid-west is trying to follow her dreams in jewelry design and is working for a famous jewelry store. She falls into a cushy job with one of the senior execs and is off on a whirlwind of New York glitterati. But all is not as it seems as easily as these people can take her into their high style life they can just as easily shun her.

This is meant for teens, but I never let that stop me. It takes place in upscale Manhattan, in the fashion magazine world. Kira gets a coveted summer internship at fictional magazine Skirt, and deals with mean girls, cute guys, wannabes, coworkers, and her nemesis Daphne who happens to be the owner's daughter. We called such people "nepotees" at my old job. Kira's hard work and long hours may go unrewarded, while Daphne takes long lunches and leaves early to get ready for evenings at the hottest clubs. Or will Kira triumph in the end? (Well, I know what happens, but don't want to spoil it.)… (meer)

Filled with every chic-lit cliche! Main character: Wholesome girl who doesn't realize how drop-dead gorgeous she is moves to the Big City; quickly gets 'noticed' by her boss, gets a huge unrealistic promotion which allows her to design jewellery, her dream career; she has upstanding morals about relationships yet loves the 'wild' married guy and doesn't notice the great 'good' single guy (rich and good-hearted) standing right in front of her (who is also a cliche); both are caught up with a superficial, materialistic rich crowd but don't really belong; both do 'real' volunteer/charity work, not just the benefit galas like their rich friends.
Actually, it's not much different from that movie with Jennifer Aniston, Jay Mohr and Kevin Bacon.
Predictable climax and ending fit right in there with all the other cliches.
Not worth the time of a discernable reader.
