#FashionVictim: A Novel
Heathers meets The Devil Wears Prada in this “sick and vicious and funny” thriller set in the cut-throat world of fashion (Caroline Kepnes, New York Times–bestselling author of You)
Fashion editor Anya St. Clair is on the verge of greatness. A to-die-for wardrobe. Killer social media numbers. And the path behind her is littered with the bodies of anyone who got in her way. She’s worked hard to get where she is, but she doesn’t have everything.
Not like Sarah Taft. Anya’s obsession sits one desk away. Beautiful, stylish, and rich, Sarah’s a natural fashion icon. From her beach-wave blonde hair to her on-trend nail art, she’s a walking editorial spread. Anya wants to be her friend. Her best friend. Her only friend.
When Sarah becomes her top competition for a promotion, Anya’s plan to win her friendship goes into overdrive. In order to beat Sarah, she’ll have to become her. Friendly competition may turn fatal, but as they say in fashion: One day you’re in, and the next day you’re dead.
“As awesome as it sounds . . . welcome to the cruel world of fashion where women’s looks, weight, and youth is the only thing to value.” —Book Riot

People seem to hate this book but if you read it as a satire as it is meant then you’ll enjoy it. The narrator is working at a fashion magazine and simultaneously loves and hates her job and the fashion industry. She hates the shallow people and the ridiculous things she has to wear and do to be in style but then goes along with it because she wants to be accepted and loved so much. She ends up looking like a clinger and getting made fun all the time but unlike normal people, she is crazy and just starts killing people (really not a spoiler since she starts killing within the first 10% of the book). This is what people imagine they do to the “mean girls” but don’t actually do. I guess this could be a guilty pleasure read for some. I just kept on reading because I wanted to see how much she could get away with. If you don’t take the book seriously, you’ll love it.
