The Assistants

Reviews

Perri's writing pulsates with wise-cracks and smart pop culture references, as Tina and her assistant friends navigate one massive moral dilemma and ponder their futures. If you've ever been an overworked assistant (who hasn't?), you'll adore this. Maybe the fact that Perri once worked as an assistant herself is what gives this well-written debut its lick of veracity. It’s a different, witty, funny and pacy read - and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Assistants is fresh, smart and very funny - I absolutely loved it. The Assistants is a must-read for anyone who’s toiled away for an unappreciative boss . . . Sharp, sassy and lots of fun. Witty tale about an embezzlement gone awry – we loved it **** Funny and clever, this is the next Devil Wears Prada Anyone who's earned less in a year than their boss spends on cabs will relate. Sure to be a massive hit If the characters from HBO’s Girls were capable of larceny and blackmail, they could be the main characters of Perri’s sharp first novel . . . Perri has a gift for the glib one-liner, and reserved Tina and glamourous Emily make for a great pairing, resulting in a smart and fresh novel. Expand reviews
