It was an okay story, I suppose. Not my usual fare, though. Andy Sachs, the unfortunate assistant whose story was told in The Devil Wears Prada, returns, a decade after the events of the first book. She's started a wedding magazine with her best friend, and it's become wildly successful. Then Elias-Clark, the publishing company headed by Miranda Priestly (the “Devil” from the title), makes an offer to buy the magazine and it goes downhill from there.
I really was not thrilled by this book. Miranda only makes a few appearances, and while her influence is felt through the entire book, it's more Andy's fear of her that permeates the book rather than Miranda's own driven personality. I wanted to see more of the Devil herself!
Reading other reviews on Amazon, I'm not alone, and apparently the first book was FAR better. Which is good to know, I suppose, but I still probably won't bother to read it. I might watch the movie - I remember the previews were hysterical - but I won't waste the time on the book. That's also my recommendation for this sequel. Don't waste your time.

Falling into this book solely based on my love for the Devil Wears Prada movie is my fault and no one else's. I loved the movie and decided to read this trilogy backwards just because I like to live dangerously. Emily's book is a little stronger, but dear lord, this installment is definitely the worst. Andy is so very whiney and insecure to the point that it made the book hard to read. Too much whining and many questionable decisions later ended with a return to the overhyped boyfriend from the Devil Wears Prada. And what is it with everyone getting pregnant? It's a cult. Can't we have female leads whose careers and personhood aren't defined by their children for once? Disappointment wears Prada.
