Review
As a lover of fashion, I was instantly drawn into Aliza’s world. From the crazy bosses who are very Devil Wears Prada-esqe, to the glamourous world of award shows and red carpets, Aliza’s personal career story fascinated me and made me question my career choices more than once. In every chapter, Aliza gives you more insight into her personal story and then quickly translates what happen to her into real-life, tangable career advice. I loved this format — easy to digest and entertaining, while still getting the message across.
To any female college student, high school student, or recent grad, I would highly recommend this book. It gives you incredible advice without sounding preachy, just like your cool older sister.
Next time you get coffee, Aliza, can I come with?
