When Janey Sweet, CEO of a couture wedding dress company, is photographed in the front row of a fashion show eating a bruffin - the delicious lovechild of a brioche and a muffin - her best friend and business partner, Beau, gives her an ultimatum: lose 30 pounds or lose your job. Sure, Janey has gained some weight since her divorce, and no, her beautifully cut trousers don't fit like they used to, so Janey throws herself headlong into the world of the fitness revolution.

Imogen Tate kehrt nach längerer Abwesenheit zurück an den Schreibtisch der Chefredakteurin des Hochglanzmagazins "Glossy" - nur um auf ihrem Stuhl ihre frühere Assistentin Eve vorzufinden. Eve plant einen komplett digitalen Relaunch des Magazins als App, keine opulente 400-Seiten-September-Ausgabe.

When Imogen returns to work at Glossy after six months away, she can barely recognize her own magazine. Eve, fresh out of Harvard Business School, has fired "the gray hairs", put the managing editor in a supply closet, stopped using the landlines, and hired a bevy of manicured and questionably attired underlings who text and tweet their way through meetings.
