    The main character, Andrea, is hired at Runway, a very well-known, well-established magazine company. She was hired to take Emily’s spot, and Emily was promoted to the position above her. The two jobs are very similar but the main difference is that Emily gets to go to Paris for a major fashion banquet with their boss, Miranda. Emily often speaks of the future trip to Paris, and tells Andrea how excited she is about it. Andrea is not the typical stereotype of someone who works at Runway; skinny and stylish. Andrea has no sense of style and no interest in fashion, and only took the job in hopes of it leading to a journalism opportunity. Andrea’s boss, Miranda, is demanding, rude, and heartless. She often calls Andrea after hours to demand something to be done. This job completely transforms Andrea from her down to earth self, to someone that her friends and boyfriend don’t even recognize. She becomes “one of them,” they say. She starts to only care about fashion and her relationships with her close ones start to suffer. After promising her boyfriend a party for his birthday, she doesn’t show up till he is already getting ready for bed.…

    The story starts in a café following the life of a waitress, Jesse, and in a moment of bold self-confidence she introduces herself to a man she was serving, Ethan, who is a struggling writer pushed to the edge of despair after having another novel rejected by publishers. For her, it was more than a chance to meet someone; she thought she could inspire him and be the muse he needed to get over the hump. He is then to ask her out on a date and she accepts. He looked like the perfect guy for her. A moment later, in walks Troy, a confident and successful advertising executive. After picking up his order he tells her that he doesn’t usually introduce himself to random girls he meets but he thinks that this time is different and that he would regret not asking her for her number. She is flattered and so she gives it to him. She starts going out with both guys; they are portrayed as very similar guys with similar taste in almost everything. For example she would go out with Ethan to play miniature golf and then she goes with Troy to a huge classy golf course. Although they are similar, they are different; they come from different class levels, different backgrounds and financial statuses. Ethan is a middle class man; in fact he told her that he is an aspiring author who is about to give up on writing because he hasn’t been able to make a living out of it. On the other hand; Troy is completely different in that regard, he is very successful, he is a co-owner of a very efficacious advertising company that he is planning on expanding, he is a self-built man who lives a lavish life. As time passes Jesse starts falling for both guys, her indecisiveness and secrecy start getting to her and messing with her head, until she finally comes to a point where she has to makeup her mind. At first Ethan proposes and then Troy asks her to move away with him to a different state. She is torn and unable to make the decision, all that is shown is her breaking up with Ethan and packing as if…
