Raves and Reviews
"Fun, fresh and pulling no punches, What Pretty Girls Are Made Of will be the book of 2015 for all women who’ve ever worked for a nightmare boss and lived to tell the tale, and who've chased love until realizing that it can't be chased. Brimming with chutzpa in the powdered face of a truly toxic boss, Alison is the anti-Hannah Horvath, an immensely likable tour-guide through the underbelly of an industry that peddles perfection. We cringe with her, root for her, and thank God we will never have to do our twenties again."
–-Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, bestselling authors of The Nanny Diaries and Nanny Returns
