Book Review:
This book is an electrifying, mile-a-minute memoir that drops you directly into the heart of 1980s media glamour, ambition, and power. Tina Brown, the legendary editor who resurrected Vanity Fair from obscurity, offers an unputdownable, diary-form account of her decade at the helm.

The book is a wild ride through a world of creative glee, sharp gossip, and high-stakes publishing. Brown sketches a dazzling cast of characters—from Hollywood stars to media moguls and New York society figures—with Austen-like sharpness. It’s a story of relentless ambition, brilliant marketing, and the sheer, high-octane genius required to make a magazine the talk of the town.

Praised by peers like Anderson Cooper and Salman Rushdie, this is more than a media story; it's a masterclass in leadership and a vibrant cultural history. A must-read for anyone fascinated by the intoxicating mix of power, celebrity, and print media in its last golden age. Hang on—it's a truly wild and unforgettable ride.
