I liked this book. It's about 4 personal assistants to important men in NYC. 1 assistant works with a film producer, 1 assistant works for a news anchor, 1 assistant works for a washed-up actor, and lastly, 1 assistant works for a literary agent. The girls are all close friends, and when they've finally had enough of the horrible abuse and poor treatment they endure at their boss's hands, they decide to make a blog and spill it all! 🦋🦋🦋🦋
