Synopsis: A whip-smart, piercing debut novel,
Smile and Look Pretty
follows four assistants who band together to take on their toxic office environments in the ultimate comeuppance.
Online
they're the Aggressive One, the Bossy One, the Bitchy One and the
Emotional One. In real life, best friends Cate, Lauren, Olivia and Max
all have one thing in common--they're overworked, overtired and
underpaid assistants to some of the most powerful men in the
entertainment industries. When they secretly start an anonymous blog
detailing their experiences, their posts go viral and hundreds of other
women come forward with stories of their own. Confronted with the risks
of newfound fame and the possibility of their identities being revealed,
they have to contend with what happens when you try to change the
world.
Gripping, razor sharp and scathingly funny, Smile and Look Pretty
is a fast-paced millennial rallying cry about the consequences of
whistleblowing for an entire generation, and a testament to the strength
of female friendship and what can be accomplished when women come
together. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This one was fun, fast, and full of girl power! It really captures some of the #MeToo movement feeling. These girls are tired of bad behavior from their male bosses, and they are going to call them out on it, through what they think is the safety of the internet. All things do not go according to plan.
This tackled some very relevant issues. It had me cheering for the four friends. It also gave the reality that there is danger in calling some one out. The internet is a dangerous place. One day you're the hero, the next you're the villain.
This was a really enjoyable read, and I'd definitely say grab it!
