Front Row
When her feckless husband Matthew vanishes into the rainforest in an attempt to find himself, Janie Pember is forced to go back to work to support the children she gave it all up for. Janie feels quite at home in willies and maternity bras, but when she lands a job as fashion editor on the International Gazette, she's plunged back into a world where cocktail dresses are considered normal work wear and holding a fashion show in an abattoir is seen as an intellectual tour de force.
Five years seem to have made little difference in the fashion industry. It's still obsessed by accessories and the New Black. And though she'd much rather be gardening and doing something about getting her husband back, when Janie finds herself worrying about bylines, hemlines and overshot budgets she knows she's being insidiously sucked back into the demented world of fashion journalism.
And worse - she's enjoying it...

A re read, I think I originally got this at a UK airport for a plane ride. Good fluff, one of the better examples of the genre. You can't anticipate the end by the end of the first chapter, not all of the anticipated horrors come to pass, there's some good twists and turns. And loads of good clothes and models, of course.
reread jan 2015.
