Miss Understanding by Stephanie Lessing
1.0
Zoe was a bit of an outsider as a child and this led her to focus on why girls are mean to each other. When she lands a job as editor-in-chief of a magazine published by her brother-in-law, she thinks her message will have a real platform. Little does she know but his mother and many of the staff will plot for her failure. In the middle of this, she gets pregnant, her sister takes off around the country, and her staff sabotage everything - all except one staff member who turns-out to be the best friend she had when she was little!
This is chick-lit gone bad. Too many characters, too many cliches, and too many sub-plots.The premise was hard enough to swallow without the rest of the fluff! By mid-novel, I was rooting for Blaire and Sloane to succeed in taking Zoe down. This is like the Legally Blonde script threw-up on the Devil Wears Prada and still went out in public. The whole baby addition was unnecessary and detracted from what could have been saved as a plot.
