Book review: Techbitch by Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza

Paperback by Penguin, £7.99 (ebook £2.99)

Do you know your Bit.ly from your Feedly? Periscope from your Flickr?
Ever think you might need to be dragged into the world of Apps and
technology silently kicking and screaming?

Then you’ll have something in common with Imogen Tate, the well-respected Editor-in-Chief of Glossy magazine who returns from a sabbatical, only to find her former assistant, Eve, sitting at her desk. Fresh out of Harvard Business School, cut-throat and manic, Eve plans to overhaul Glossy turning it into an App, where content is now about tweets, Instagram and 24-hour instant updates, rather than detailed editorial and fact-checking.

Dubbed ‘the Devil Wears Prada goes digital’, Techbitch is fast-paced,
wickedly funny and has plenty of insider knowledge about the catty
world of magazines, high-end fashion and front row antics. This
hilarious satire is the perfect beach accompaniment – you won’t want to
put it down!
