The New York Post is colorblind

NYP@workIn this snarktastic roundup of five new business/career books (including mine), the New York Post sets out to eviscerate everything in its path. In the parallel universe that the Post lives in, my book has a pink cover, only appeals to chick lit fans (because everyone knows that’s all Bust and Bitch subscribers read), and offers great advice if you have a rich boyfriend.

Still, I’m honored to be simultaneously deemed a “guru” and dissed by such a well-read publication, along with some high-profile books I saw prominently displayed in my local bookstores. And my boyfriend (who neither supports nor lives with me) was thrilled to hear that he’s suddenly rich.

But he just has one question: When will his big fat Rich Boyfriend Check arrive?
