This book will draw comparisons to "The Devil Wears Prada," but "A Hundred Other GIrls" is much more than just the story of a young woman trying to make it at a fashion magazine helmed by a tyrant. Iman Hariri-Kia paints a realistic picture of the current state of publishing while filling it with inclusive characters and youthful, engaging dialogue.

this book was just not for me AT ALL
the constant namedropping and sandwiching of modern things irked me to no end - it genuinely felt like the author just googled trending things and tried to shove every single word in
i still can't tell if this is satire?? because if it is it's not done well at all??? but it would be arguably worse if it WASN'T satire
the overall plot/conflicts were fine but didn't hold enough stakes for me
it's just a book that will not age well in any sense of the word

I knew from the blurb I would be getting a twist on the Devil Wears Prada and while it was ok, I didn’t feel like there was enough to it to make the book that different.

DNF @ 15%

I really wanted to love this one as I love the authors content on Tik Tok but unfortunately I didn't like the writing so much that I can't continue on! It feels very Wattpad-y with out of place and excessive pop culture references as well as needing a bit more editing. 3 stars so as to not mess up the average rating

This was an excellent debut novel that follows a young woman navigating a toxic job as a young professional in New York. I found the character to be incredibly relatable, and this made the story very enjoyable. When I found out Noora and I share the same big three astrology signs, I knew this was going to be the book for me. Additionally, Noora deeply understands the internal politics of working in supposedly progressive work environments and the impact of finally securing one's longtime dream job. She has a special ability to eloquently describe these experiences in a way that sticks with the reader while maintaining the humor and relationships elements that make these situations all the more complicated. At times, I found myself wishing the story went a little bit deeper into certain plot points, but the current length made it the perfect one-sitting read. While I haven't seen the Devil Wears Prada, I would recommend this for fans of the Emily in Paris TV series or readers who enjoyed The Spanish Love Deception's writing style. It's a quick, witty read and the perfect book to get me out of a reading slump. I received this as an eARC, but I will definitely be purchasing it when it's released! I look forward to reading what Iman Hariri-Kia releases next.

I loved this book! Iman’s writing is incredible. Noora was so relatable, just everything about her reminded me of my day to day life. I loved how different this book was than what I normally read, seriously couldn't put it down! I’ve already recommended it to many of my friends and family.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, Sourcebooks Landmark and by #NetGalley. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

The storyline has been done before, at least it resembles others. That aside it’s well done and worth the read.

I LOVED this!! Fast paced with diverse and morally grey characters, A Hundred Other Girls is a Devil Wears Prada-esque story dealing with a changing industry, being a young professional, and a beautiful ode to sisterhood. It's witty, sarcastic, and overall a fun read!

Will definitely be recommending this!

This book was incredibly insightful. It's a fast-paced read, aimed to be a coming of age story of sorts for this Middle-Eastern American writer. I enjoyed the message the book was trying to send through this witty voice that captures this younger generation through the trials and tribulations of anxiety and struggles in one's professional and personal life. Definitely worthwhile and I'm so thankful to have been able to get my hands on an early copy!

I can't get over how much I enjoyed A Hundred Other Girls by Iman Hariri-Kia
I'm super grateful for the chance to read an early copy!
This is an amazing work of fiction.
Beautifully written, A Hundred Other Girls is a powerful and moving book about love, sisterhood, and chasing after your dreams and what you believe in.
I couldn't turn my head away from my kindle.
The dialogue felt so real and I loved the vivid descriptions.
The characters were so easy to connect to!

Thank you Sourcebook Landmarks for this stunning ebook!

There were several.lines that really reverberated with me. New York is a place that you can be your authentic self. You may be living a better life but there is something better that is yet to come. Noora gave New York a character personification and her observations and attention to detail gives kudos to the author for such a well written book. I truly enjoyed the way she built herself back up even with what she experienced at Vinyl and her refusal to be used as a prop. Three squeezes with Leila meant I love you and I must say, this book is meant to be loved.

A Hundred Other Girls reminded me a lot of The Devil Wears Prada. Except it’s a women’s fiction novel. I found out about this book through tik tok and I am so glad I got the chance to read it!!

I absolutely LOVED this book! It’s one of the best debut novels I’ve ever read. A Hundred Other Girls was marketed as a sort of modern “The Devil Wears Prada,” and I was NOT disappointed! The vibe very much captured the essence of that movie but with more relatable and diverse characters. This book has something for everyone: mental health representation, LGBTQIA+ representation, familial and romantic relationship struggles, etc etc. Seriously, I think this is going to be my new comfort read. Noora was such a relatable character for me with her anxiety and striving for perfection. I loved loved loved this book. 5 stars.

Diverse cast of characters. Morally gray characters. Mostly loveable, all compelling. All characteristics of a great read.

The writing is smart, engaging, and intentional. I've never read a "closet scene" like that before! Obsessed! This picked up more in the second half of the book, for me; I usually steer clear of work-related fiction. I loved this insider's take on the media industry. The fact that a WOC wrote this, makes it all the more special and insightful. The way the novel treats race parallels my own experience. The ending made me cry and feel full of light. I would recommend this to other media/magazine girlies, aspiring writers, and tokenized workers.

Just as an editor's note, if the reference was to Peggy from Mad Men, Elisabeth Moss' name is with an S not a Z, haha!
