THE ASSISTANTS

Tina Fontana is the 30-year-old executive assistant to the CEO of Titan Corp., a multinational media conglomerate. She’s excellent at her job and beloved by her boss—but after six years of making his reservations for restaurants she’d never get into on her own and pouring his drinks from bottles that cost more than her rent, she’s bored, broke, and over it all.

When a mistaken double reimbursement of her boss’ expense report yields a $20,000 windfall, Tina pockets the money to pay off her debilitating student loan debt. And when her fellow assistants find out, they start an entire movement to level the playing field, skimming money the ultra-rich didn’t even realize they had.

Camille Perri is the books editor at Esquire and will move soon to a new gig covering books for a major women’s magazine. She’s well-connected in the New York media world and will be a fantastic asset for promotion. She has worked as a librarian, freelancer, editor, ghostwriter, and, of course, assistant, and she is the author of three young-adult novels with Alloy Entertainment.
