Pretty in Ink

Book Jacket for: Pretty in inkPretty in Ink by Lindsey J. Palmer is interesting by virtue of its setting.  It tells the tale of a woman’s magazine that has just had its editor-in-chief replaced.  The chapters alternate among a large number of the staff of the magazine as each narrates her experience.  Truthfully there were so many character viewpoints that were all kind of the same that it got tricky keeping track of things from that point of view.  What kept me reading was an interest in the milieu described and a desire to see how things would work out (would the much disliked new editor survive or fail?).

Not a book I would recommend to everyone but for those with an interest in a peek at the publishing world it might prove appealing.
