We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed. Harri is meant to be a well-respected old-timer in the publishing world but some of her actions (or more appropriately, inactions) reduced me to skepticism. But you hear from Imogen a lot more and I didn't feel like I got to know Harri, so I'm not sure what her character's point-of-view added to the story. Blisteringly funny and painfully perceptive, with a warmth that radiates off the page, this book will speak straight to the heart of anyone who has ever felt like their own career is playing hard-to-get. Like The Devil Wears Prada and The Pursuit of Love had a baby which was then adopted by a grittier Jilly Cooper.

I found myself relating to some of Imogen's thought processes and difficulties, but every time I had to sit through a chapter from Harry's perspective I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head because it was so boring and so nothing. Both women are finding their careers taking over their lives and not necessarily the careers they had so desperately worked and wished for.

Exploring the exhausting push-pull of trying to pin down a career you love but that doesn't love you back, Buchanan's book is set to capture the zeitgeist as so many of us question where we're at' Stylistcareering (verb) 1.After reading and completely adoring Insatiable I knew that I had to read Careering as soon as I could get my hands on it. She's full of determination, hopes and dreams for her future career but the late nights, an empty bank account and a rented room without a window aren't making climbing the corporate ladder particularly enjoyable. She is working an unpaid internship at Panache magazine and whilst she is thankful for the opportunity, she is fed up of being given the shit jobs and earning no money whilst working pretty much full time.

With the events of the last two years making many question what really matters in life, Buchanan leaves you with the reminder that whether you love or loathe your job, it doesn't define who you are or put a value on your self-worth.I believe that the impact of the protagonists' professional life dilemmas on their mental health could be explored in an even deeper way, with more detailed descriptions of their feelings.

All my life, I’ve worried I wasn’t pretty enough, that I wasn’t hot enough, that no men would want me. The characters are raw, they are vulnerable, they are flawed and floundering in a world which is telling them that its all about female empowerment but quick kick you down for expressing your views. After two years of lockdowns and working from home I think a lot of people can relate to the tag line of 'Imogen has a toxic relationship with her job'. Will she wake up to the way she's being exploited before her protege realises that not everything is copy? The burnout we face then quells any sense of love we have for the job, taking what we once believed we were made for into something we dread showing up for unless we take change into our own hands.

I just read an article in one of the Sunday supplements about these elevens, the pair of short, vertical frown lines that form in the gap between our eyebrows, which apparently must be Botoxed into oblivion before they start to multiply into other numbers.
