From Goodreads: Andrea Sachs, a
small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls
would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the
high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace!
at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly
stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and
tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym.
With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip
sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child.
My Thoughts: I have no idea why I bought this book but at some point in time, I did. I have read one other Lauren Weisberger book and I think this one will be my last.
The story was very predictable and not super exciting. Once I got started reading it, I knew exactly what was going to happen for the rest of the story. It actually seemed like the same plot formula from another Weisberger book, Everyone Worth Knowing. I didn't feel sympathetic towards any of the characters and I thought they were all pretty two-dimensional.
I honestly don't know what I was expecting from this book but it really didn't do it for me. It was a light read and I got through it pretty quick but I kind of feel like I could have used that time to read something else instead. I haven't seen the movie for this book but I am not a huge Anne Hathaway fan so I will probably have to skip it. 2 stars.

I thought the movie was pretty entertaining and, well, I'll be reading Devil Wears Prada when I need a simple, entertaining read :)
