Kate Betts, a former editor of Harper's Bazaar who also worked for Wintour at one point in her career, objected to the main character's lack of gratitude for the unique opportunity to work at Vogue: "[I]f Andrea doesn't ever realize why she should care about Miranda Priestly, why should we care about Andrea, or prize the text for anything more than the cheap frisson of the context?"[10] Janet Maslin described the novel as "a mean-spirited Gotcha! of a book, one that offers little indication that the author could interestingly sustain a gossip-free narrative."[11] Maslin avoided naming either the magazine where Weisberger had worked or the woman on whom she allegedly modeled her main character,[12] a practice the Times continued when the film was released.[13]
