We could not be more excited to share this incredible review of Shanna Mahin’s ‘Oh! You Pretty Things‘ which ran in today’s New York Times. We could go on and on, but we will let Janet Maslin’s review speak for itself:

“Shanna Mahin’s “Oh! You Pretty Things” falls into the gofers’-revenge genre, to which “The Devil Wears Prada” and “The Nanny Diaries” also belong.”

“Ms. Mahin worked as a personal assistant herself. But that’s not why her book works. What matters is her gimlet eye for the culture in which her heroine, Jess Dunne, has become virtually unemployable.”

““Oh! You Pretty Things” may seem outlandish, but it never loses touch with reality. Even at their funniest, Ms. Mahin’s observations are painfully true.”

“Ms. Mahin’s enjoyable debut is a bit reminiscent of Jennifer Weiner’s “Good in Bed,” with a smart, embarrassed but tough heroine who works her way out of a corner.

“Ms. Mahin may not have mattered much in those days, but she matters now.”
