SUMMER INTERN is definitely going to be the summer beach read of 2007! When I first picked up this book I thought to
myself, "Here we go again with the whole THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA theme!" No way! These books have their
similarities but are much different, too! There is scandal, mystery, fashion, mean girls, and a really nice pair of Blahnik shoes
involved! What girl doesn't want to read a book like that?
Kira gets her dream job at the high profile fashion magazine, Skirt. But did Cinderella get Prince Charming without a few
bumps in the road? Uh, no! During the course of the book Kira even meets her own Prince Charming at a club--or at least
she thinks she does.
Daphne is a fellow intern at the magazine, but she just happens to be the daughter of the owner of the entire corporation!
Kira stays late, works very hard, knows a lot about fashion, and is super nice to everyone--but Daphne doesn't like her
because she is a threat to the real dream job...being the intern of the editor-in-chief of the magazine!
After finding out who wins the coveted internship, things get worse. At the end of the book something ties the whole story
together, the mean girls get what they deserve, and something VERY unexpected happens! You will just have to read this
amazing novel to find out the rest of the story that is also about more than finding the perfect pair of shoes for an upcoming
cover!
