This is a super fun read. Another in the Devil Wears Prada series with all the twists and turns you would expect from Lauren Weisberger. There is some truth in all her characters and plenty to worry and laugh about in their troubles. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends.
Emily, former assistant of Miranda Priestly, fears she is losing her edge as several high profile clients drop her. She ends up visiting a childhood friend Miriam that has just given up her job as a lawyer in New York City and has moved with her family to the suburbs. What she doesn't expect is that the visit to Connecticut will not only salvage her career but also change her life. Helping former model and current wife of a Senator recover from a life changing event gives Emily and Miriam a new purpose. A story of friendship and finding yourself. it will have you laughing and cringing and cheering for these women.
I received a free copy of this book through Netgalley, and I was very pleased. I had read The Devil Wears Prada, but none of Weisberger's other novels.
This was so fun. I enjoyed the book a lot. There's female bonding, luscious clothes and homes, gorgeous relationships and some really fun moments.
While sold as from Emily's point of view, the novel equally explores three women in crisis: one who gave up her career to be a stay at home mom in judgment filled and plastic surgery crazy Connecticut, a former model who is spurned by her politician husband, and Emily, who is watching her career spiral downward.
All in all, the novel moved quickly, had some fun moments, and is perfect for a day at the beach.
I had given up on Lauren Weisberger after Revenge Wears Prada, but she pulled me back in. Not bad at all.
