Techbitch
Autor Lucy Sykes, Jo Piazzaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2015
Imogen Tate, editor-in-chief ofGlossymagazine, is a legend in the fashion world. But when she returns from a sabbatical to find her twenty-six-year-old former assistant, Eve Morton, behind her desk, she realises times are changing.
Armed with a business degree, naked ambition and an iPhone, Eve announces she has been brought in to turn Imogen's beloved magazine into an app. With herself at the helm.
In this terrifying new world, Imogen is almost invisible. In place of her team of dedicated staff is a constantly evolving line of twenty-something bloggers at their desks day and night ('Only losers need sleep!'), amateur snaps instead of elegant photo shoots, and a URL address in place of Imogen's glossy pages.
But Imogen isn't ready to give up her hard-earned career without a fight. Where Eve has Twitter followers, Imogen has experience, talent and real relationships, and she's prepared to fight for the fashion world she knows and loves. Even if it means going to war with a ruthless Techbitch . . .

Techbitchis relatable to all women, it shows the depths of ferocity of which some women are willing to go in order to succeed, whilst teaching the lesson that playing nice and keeping cool also has its benefits and rewards. I loved the style of writing and felt that all the storylines progressed at the right pace and the outcomes were satisfying, I almost punched my fist in the air in style of Judd Nelson at the end ofBreakfast Clubwhen I finished the book. Humorous, touching and about as addictive as shoe shopping,Techbitchis one book that you should stick on your to read list

Not sinceThe Devil Wears Pradahas the fashion world been so abuzz about a novel! [Tecbitch] counts Zac Posen among its many fans, as insiders play who's who with its thinly veiled characters
