Love reading the fashion glossies every month? Dying to work in a style magazine?
Well, here's a chance to get a sneak peek at the inner workings of a top notch magazine through the eyes of the protagonists. You get to see the competition, the power struggles, the ups and the downs of all that goes on in the publishing world. There is also the constant battle to fight age, look young and to stay relevant so that you are not usurped by someone ten years younger than you are. All this, set against the uber glam backdrop of a monthly glossy that is on par with the top magazines in the industry.
This promising note of the book and the way it begins, however remains just that - promising. In some ways, there is a sense of disappointment, because though the book does offer some insights into the world of fashion publishing, much of the time it is about the sexual lives of its main characters, namely Coco Raeburn and her ruthless boss Victoria Glossop who is the editor.
Also, it looks like after the success of books like Fifty Shades of Grey, authors are going all out to write books that bring in all kinds of strange sensual proclivities into their story line. The book is engrossing for those who love fashion and want to know about what goes on -- the fight for the top jobs in the industry, the control freaks who won't let go of their positions and the crazed hunger for power and wealth. But the unnecessary dwelling on the intimate goings on in their private lives gets far too tiresome. Killer Heels is more of a beach read, geared towards those who like their books laced with vast dollops of sensuality and hedonism.
