Book Review:The Intern By Gabrielle Tozer

Book Cover

SYNOPSIS

Josie Browning dreams of having it all.

A stellar academic record, an amazing career in journalism – and for her current crush to realise she actually exists. The only problem? Josie can’t get through twenty-four hours without embarrassing her sister Kat or her best friend Angel, let alone herself.

Josie’s luck changes though when she lands an internship at the glossy fashion magazine Sash. A coveted columnist job is up for grabs, but Josie’s got some tough competition in the form of two other interns. Battle lines are drawn and Josie quickly learns that the magazine industry is far from easy, especially under the reign of powerful editor, Rae Swanson.

From the lows of coffee-fetching and working 10-hour days, to the highs of mingling with celebrities, scoring endless free beauty products (plus falling for her cousin’s seriously gorgeous flatmate James) this is one year Josie will never forget.

Totally fresh and funny, this debut novel from industry insider Gabrielle Tozer reveals just what is behind the seeming glamour and sparkle of the magazine industry.

Review:

I really liked the intern, It was one of those books that you can't put down, you just had to keep reading till you finished it. I thought it was really well written. I thought it wasn't a book, where it seems like the author is trying too hard to get a reader to get to know the characters and like them. I loved how the book had a bit of everything: humor, love, fashion etc.

So things were slightly cliche, like how she didn't have the best home situation (mum has problems, dad suddenly walks out). I really liked that it wasn't love at first sight james and josie got to know each other first, so it wasn't cliche, love at first sight really ruins books for me because in real life there's not a lot of love at first sight, as much as we like to believe their is.

If you like the devil wears prada, you will definitely like this novel, because they are both based around the 'magazine world' and are both well written. 

I also really love the cover I think its really cute and chic. The cover explains really well what the book is about because her dress is a magazine, so it shows she is an intern for a magazine. I also like how the cover is eye catching and simple black and white.

I also like how the main character Josie, develops as a character. She becomes a lot more confident and more social in the book which is nice. A development of character is always good in a book.

Overall the book is AMAZING, it's definitely in my favourite list.
