The devil reads chick lit
Cleo editor Gemma Crisp is spreading her literary wings, Dr Mumbo is delighted to note, with the publication of Be Careful What You Wish For. Mind you, she’s sticking with the familiar if the blurb from Allen & Unwin is anything to go by:
“When ambitious Nina Morey got her perfectly pedicured toe on the first rung of the magazine publishing ladder, she couldn’t believe her luck. Then, she landed the hottest man in town AND her best friend relocated from the other side of the world to be closer to her. Nina’s life had suddenly turned from dull to dream-come-true.
“Soon she was climbing the magazine ladder, securing dream job after dream job. Her relationship was going from strength to strength and she had her very best friend with whom to drink copious amounts of cocktails. Life was good. What could possibly go wrong? Strap on your tallest heels for a deliciously fast-paced peek inside the world of the Paper Giants.”
Paper Giants indeed.
Dr Mumbo is also impressed with the nice early commercial cover endorsement from Jesinta Campbell: “If you liked The Devil Wears Prada you’ll love this.” She must have received an early copy.
Jesinta is, after all, a revered figure in literary circles…

Good to see she has swayed away from all the tired cliches of women working in the publishing industry.
