Jane Shore is the sort of PR person who makes Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous look bright. She’s being usurped at the office by an evil pixie wearing existential pyjama shorts and her love life is in the WC. Set in one of my favourite cities, New York, this book almost makes you want to be a failed PR person with no boyfriend and no home yourself.
