Smile and Look Pretty

Smile and Look Pretty is the debut novel of Amanda Pellegrino--but it doesn't read at all like a debut novel. In fact, it's like a delightful combination of the tv show Sex and the City and workplace novels in the vein of The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A juicy, fun yet piercing debut novel, Smile and Look Pretty tells the story of four assistants working in media who band together to take on their toxic office environments in the ultimate comeuppance—pitched as Sweetbitter meets Whisper Network.

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 media and 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 and 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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

REVIEW: 

It took me a few chapters to get into the book, but once I was in, I was hooked. I enjoyed it and would recommend it for fans of workplace/revenge stories.
