I love books about people working at magazines. Initially the characters voices were too similar but I soon got wrapped up in their individual dramas. I related most to Cate, with her insecurities and workaholic-ness--but not her dedication to morning running and effortless beauty.

Digression: Why do so many women in novels not wear makeup? There are always descriptions of these naturally gorgeous women who "rarely wear makeup" dusting on "one coat of mascara and the barest hint of lip gloss." There are no women in my life who wear that little makeup. Is it supposed to make us regular folks feel less compelled to wear makeup? Really all it does is drive home the point of how much makeup I need to look like a human being.

I was happy that (view spoiler)[the book didn't end with her finding happiness by quitting her job, which seems to be the ending of a lot of women-at-work books. It also didn't end with any of the women finding love, which was sort of a shocker but quite nice. (hide spoiler)]

Would like to see a sequel to this one.
