If you’re going to step on people on your way to the top, you might as well do it in stilettos . . .
. . . Or so she’s been told. Lucy Butler, former wallflower, lands her dream job working for her idol, world-famous fashion photographer Stefano Lepres. But in a world where getting doused in coffee for not getting the order right is the new normal, she isn’t getting any closer to her ideal of being behind the camera herself.
Then a superstar actress generously takes Lucy under her wing and teaches her the ways of the rich and famous—treating her to racks of designer clothes and introducing her to a life of private planes and penthouse suites. Soon Lucy is dating a rock star, attending the hottest Hollywood parties, and dressing the part.
Lost in the luxury, she loses sight of the things that once mattered most. It’s going to take a hard blow from the high life to send Lucy back to the real life she always wanted.
From an industry insider—and featuring wardrobes personally selected by celebrity stylist Robert Verdi—this is a novel that will keep you guessing and introduce you to a world you know exists; you’ve just never seen it unretouched.

From Booklist
Lucy Butler, armed with her new BFA in photography, moves to L.A. for an internship with world-renowned photographer Stefano Lepres. She finds an apartment with her best friend and a requisite gay roommate, discovers designer clothes, and befriends the most famous actress in the world, Isabella Blackstone. She also develops a coke habit, alienates her normal-person best friend, hangs out with a socialite who doesn’t really care about her, and makes out with a rock star who also doesn’t care. Don’t worry, she learns who her true friends are. And she kicks the drugs pretty handily. In this pointless coming-of-age story, where the supposedly innocent heroine gets her final revenge with a petty and opportunistic act, it appears that Lucy learned her lessons well, after all. Her consistently stupid decisions will be stressful to any reader with common sense, and the Narnia allusion in the title doesn’t play out. But if you want a book where an alleged frump name-drops Marc Jacobs and Jimmy Choo, you’re in luck. Be forewarned: she throws a Hermes scarf into the sea at the end. --Susan Maguire

Extremely hilarious, fashionable, and overall inspirational.
By Shane Morgan
Allie Kingsley's debut is tremendously hilarious, fashionable, and overall inspirational. A chick-lit like no other giving a realistic view of the lifestyle of the rich and aspiring to be famous. What more could a girl ask for?
The fact that the author has experienced fashion and entertainment, and continues to live in both worlds, is just perfect for this novel. Throughout it all I kept wondering if such characters were inspired by an actual person, if so, who. It was just an interesting story all in all. Very fast paced,.I was not disappointed.
This novel was not all about making it big, but it strongly depicted, amidst the fun and adventure, how hard-work and determination is key. There's also the aspect of understanding that sometimes things and people aren't always what they seem, and it's important not to lose yourself while doing whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Lucy learns that lesson well when her eyes are open to the bigger picture.
"I knew I was compromising everything that I was all about, but if this is what it took to be part of the scene, I was going to do it. And really, it didn't seem that bad."
That part alone says a lot about the situation the main character finds herself in. Lucy moved to LA with the mindset of starting her career. Her overall outlook on life before she took flight was quite applaudable. However, Lucy's values are tested. Her relationship with the people who truly have her best interest at heart is affected by Lucy's new found accomplishments, and in the end it leaves us all thinking how amazing it is that fancy things can place conflict in our hearts and make us question everything we were taught.
Lucy comes in contact with some sapid characters. Few good, few with dubios motives. Allie unveils them all so well. In fact, her clear descriptions are so good that you're given the impression she actually knows what she's writing about (then again, she has an industry insider). And speaking of writing, the fast paced and witty style kept me even more motivated to continue to the end, and I did get there in no time. It was certainly a light but intriguing read.
There's a lot you could gain from this story, humor and glamour aside, there are other things projecting in the chapters. I do hope you won't pass this off as a cheesy chick lit because it's not. I promise you'll find it informative if not entertaining.

Fabulously fun!
By SushiSoy
If you're looking for a witty, fun, fashion-forward read, you must get this book. Reminiscent of Devil Wear's Prada, but definitely has its own voice. Perfect beach read for those last days of summer, or a great way to start off the fall fashion season. Everyone can relate to the geek-to-chic main character, Lucy. I definitely saw a little bit of myself in her - once I got to Chapter 4 I was hooked and finished it in 2 days. More please!

Snarky, fun romp through the dark side of celebrity culture
By SaraO @ TheLibrarianReads
This book is a total beach read. Seriously folks, it's the candy corn in your fall reading world. It's like US magazine in novel format. At the beginning of the book all I could think was "Where was this book when I was 17?!" I would have LOVED it. As it stands my adult reading of the tale became more enjoyable when I decided to enjoy the good bits and ignore everything that wasn't working - heck the author was, why couldn't I?
Perhaps that last line was snarky...
But, this book is about 80% snark. It's as if fashion, snark, and The Devil Wears Prada had a baby. That baby would be this book. Kingsley has a wonderful and entertaining voice when she's writing what she knows or what she enjoys. Each chapter where in the heroine Lucy falls deeper and deeper into the celebrity-encrusted drug-laden world gets better and better. The characters are rich, the writing is sharp, and the exploits will make you want to rack your brain for the real celebrity Kingsley is talking about. But resist that urge to Google Kingsley's previous life as a celebrity friend. Kingsley's virtual life is tighter than Fort Knox. Even as a professional librarian I gave up the hunt. *Sigh*( I have a fierce hope Bella was really Brittany Spears...)
Anyway - Between the nuggets of Pure Goodness there were some stretches of, well, not goodness. You can see where Kingsley is a new author in the following:
1. The Secondary "Friend" Characters were flatter than pancakes and non-existent except when Lucy `needed' them. The friends Lucy pines for, wants to brag to, are generally stand-ins with which to measure her `celebrity life' to the normal life of an L.A.young thing trying to break into the biz. To cut them would have strengthened the tale. They never felt real to me anyway.
2. Time Passage - Warning: There is no accounting for how much time passes in Lucy's world. Chapters range from beginning either days or moments after the previous chapter to months later with a rare hint at how far we are apart. Don't be surprised if you start a chapter thinking it's a day later only to find that weeks have gone by! Using holidays, weather, time stamps - seriously, anything! would have moored the reader chronologically. It was frustrating not knowing the speed at which Lucy's story was progressing.
I did love that this read falls into the "New Adult" category. I personally would have eaten it up in the older teen/new 20′s space. If you love gossip rags you'll eat this story up! I ended it excited to see what a second, more focused, effort would be from this author. With some practice she could be a great Chick Lit go-to.
Rating: 2/5 Snarky, fun romp through the dark side of celebrity culture - A debut author to keep an eye on.
