Women's Fiction | Contemporary Chick Lit
Flash forward several years and a couple of giant leaps up
the career ladder, and Jill has it all. Jill magazine is a
huge hit, and her fabulous life comes complete with free
designer clothes, an abundance of celeb friends, a
shamelessly huge salary, and a framed Time magazine cover
in her office featuring her beaming face over the
legend, “Jill White, Media Wunderkind.” Now that mega-
successful Nestrom Media has taken over Jill’s parent
company, its future should be assured. Jill shares the
fifteenth floor of the Nestrom building with illustrious
Fashionista magazine, and the Nestrom suits are panting
with admiration for both Jill and Jill. But the ashes from the postcoital cigarette have barely hit
the floor before Jill’s new bosses start barking about
getting ad revenue up and toning down articles like “His
penis is not a toy…or is it?” in favor of fluff pieces with
the reality star du jour. What smelled like team spirit
devolves into a bitter game of manipulation and
backstabbing. With Ellen Cutter, the blond, bland,
Bergdorfed CEO of Nestrom Media, and Liz Alexander, Jill’s
publisher (and Ellen’s conniving sidekick) suddenly aligned
against Jill, plus a paranoid new managing editor with an
addiction to spying, the situation is as grim as the
magazine’s decidedly unfabulous new offices. Reluctant to
jump ship, and equally reluctant to watch as her baby
morphs into yet another cheesy rag, Jill fights back, even
as Ellen and Liz plot her next move for her. With her name,
her creation, and her future all on the line, Jill realizes
mean girls don’t get left behind in high school—they grow
up and work in publishing…
