My overall opinion of this book: Meh.
I LOVED The Devil Wears Prada and I was thrilled (although a little puzzled) when Weisberger announced she was writing a sequel. I was thrilled because I was happy to return to such a great story but I was puzzled as I wasn’t sure what was left of the story to tell.
After reading this book, I really wish I hadn’t. The Devil Wears Prada was a great book and it should have been left as it was originally intended to be: a stand alone, single book. There was no need for a sequel.
I found the book dragged in parts. There was no real plot and Weisberger was famous for skipping over large chunks of time several times over the course of the book, which got confusing if you weren’t entirely paying attention.
If you are thinking of reading this book, I wouldn’t bother. You will not be missing much if you skip this book.
About The Book:
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 highend bridal magazine. The Plunge 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…
