Falling Out of Fashion
Falling Out of Fashion by Karen Yampolsky
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is a fictionalized account of Sassy and Jane magazine founder and editor Jane Pratt’s life, in the same vein as The Devil Wears Prada. The main character is Jill White, the editor and founder of Cheeky (Sassy) magazine and Jill (Jane) magazine. The author was Jane’s assistant for nine years and it is widely rumored that Jane Pratt was the ghostwriter for this book.
I grew up reading Sassy and also read Jane for a while before it got lame so it was really fun reading this book. All the celebrity names have been fictionalized of course, but it is really easy to figure out who they really are. Serena Sax is Courteney Cox and Rory Bellmore is Drew Barrymore for example.
I highly recommend this book for fans of Sassy and/or Jane.
