Almost a decade has passed since Andy Sachs quit the job “a million girls would die for” working for Miranda Priestly at Runway magazine—a dream that turned out to be a nightmare. Andy and Emily, her former nemesis and co-assistant, have since joined forces to start a high end bridal magazine, The Plunge, which has quickly become required reading for the young and stylish. Now they get to call all the shots: Andy writes and travels to her heart’s content; Emily plans parties and secures advertising like a seasoned pro. Even better, Andy has met the love of her life. Max Harrison, scion of a storied media family, is confident, successful, and drop-dead gorgeous. Their wedding will be splashed across all the society pages as their friends and family gather to toast the glowing couple. Andy Sachs is on top of the world. But karma’s a bitch. The morning of her wedding, Andy can’t shake the past. And when she discovers a secret letter with crushing implications, her wedding-day jitters turn to cold dread. Andy realizes that nothing—not her husband, nor her beloved career—is as it seems. She never suspected that her efforts to build a bright new life would lead her back to the darkness she barely escaped ten years ago—and directly into the path of the devil herself...Featuring all new scenes with the villainess we love to hate (hate to love?), Miranda Priestly, Revenge Wears Prada in paperback is another publishing event!

REVIEW:
Meh.
This story was just okay. Yeah, it picks up where Devil Wears Prada left off but it isn't all that exciting. It's just a story.
Miranda's snark just turned into weird passive aggressive behavior in this one. Andy got soft(er) and kinda boring, and Emily reverted back to her bitchy ways. There really wasn't much to enjoy about any of them.
The writing did flow with the same ease, it's just the story wasn't thrilling at all. Just a continuation of their lives, which again, lacked for me.
So if there is a book 3, I am over it.
2/5

I don't think this is for me, but since I liked first movie I will probably see this when it's released. There's no release date yet though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the premise is Andy and Emily being business partners.
