The Knockoff/Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza/338 pages

When Imogen Tate comes back to her job as editor-in-chief of Glossy magazine after a six month medical leave to treat breast cancer, she's shocked to find her one-time assistant, Eve, running the transition from a print magazine to an online only app that provides links to BUY IT NOW on absolutely everything. At 42, Imogen hadn't expect to be obsolete, but Eve thinks she is. Imogen's learning curve has to be especially steep to keep up with Eve. Eve needs Imogen for her contacts in the fashion world, but she still calls her "the dinosaur" to her face.

This book is for anyone who works for an organization that is falling over themselves to hire and/or cater to "Millennials", and face it, who doesn't? The Boomers days are waning, and Gen X was never the force that either Boomer or Millennials have been. You'll find yourself cheering for Imogen even though she hardly embodies the average Joe. A great read!
