Revenge Wears Prada

Nearly a decade after The Devil Wears Prada, Weisberger revisits her heroine Andy Sachs%E2%80%94former assistant to the vicious Miranda Priestly of Runway magazine. Now the editor of her own wildly successful bridal magazine, Andy is about to marry media mogul Max Harrison. Although all seems to be going well, a series of events catapult Andy back to her self-conscious Runway days. Her image-obsessed mother-in-law (whose over the top snobbery makes her nearly indistinguishable from Miranda) thinks Andy isn't good enough for Max, and her business partner Emily wants to sell their magazine to Elias-Clark, the publisher of Runway, which would make Andy once again a servant to Miranda. Weisberger adds many plot elements that put Andy and her lifetyle in jeopardy%E2%80%94and while the resolutions won't shock%E2%80%94Andy's character is what drives the book, after all- this sequel is a fun summer read.
