Reviews

One of the great social diaries of our time . . . should become a classic. * Sunday Times * Eye-popping, brilliantly candid. * Evening Standard * Shulman is particularly good on insightful character sketches . . . she is also happy to reveal occasional flashes of her own character and insecurities. * Sunday Express * Completely compelling . . . fascinating . . . refreshingly unfiltered . . . reminds you what a good writer she is. * GQ * [Shulman] writes surprisingly frankly . . . a funny, pacy book. -- Hadley Freeman * Guardian * Candid, introspective, generous and witty -- Nicky Haslam * Spectator * A delicious surprise of a book . . . [Shulman is] a first rate diarist * Mail on Sunday * A witty corrective to the BBC's rather flaccid documentary . . . Shulman's skill for casual self-deprecation and the unfiltered wry aside offer a far more nuanced insight into the mammoth task of managing brand Vogue. * Financial Times, 'Best Books of 2016' *
