Discussion:
Most agreed that the third definition of jejune fit the best, just lacking interest or significance.
It did meet the first rule of the book club. It was not a depressing book.
Everyone agreed that the book was funny in parts, but didn't understand the main characters need to keep her job if she was that miserable. It was understood that she kept her job to get ahead in the publishing world, and she ultimately did get published because of her connections, but at what cost. No job is worth what she went through. But then she was young and just out of college. She had to learn that.
We didn't always get the references to the designers, but it was an interesting peak inside the world of fashion.
Jackie was strong in her enjoyment of the book though. She thought it was very funny and she could relate it to her experience at American Paper, where people gossiped and stabbed each other in the back, and she didn't know who she could trust.
We all agreed that the writing was good and the book was entertaining, but we may or may not read another of Lauren Weisberger's books. Jackie would recommend the book.
