Description
With brand-new scenes, The New York Times bestseller and sequel you’ve been waiting for—the sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Devil Wears Prada!
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!

5By sfhcsrRse insec ughewrDisappointing.
1By SupJ9911Disappointing. I found myself irritated by the neurotic and dramatic behavior of the main character. Because of this the book was tedious to get through.Whiny, miserable Andy!
1By JennaldixonWorst book I've ever read! Spoilers* The book fast forwards 10 years since Andy has worked for Miranda yet every recollection of her sends Andy into ptsd. If this was a real person I would recommend therapy, since she isn't lets just say it's boring to read about. Andy meets and marries "the worlds most perfect man" but doesn't want to marry him based on a nothing letter his mother wrote, marries him anyway and punishes him for the first half of the book for no reason, without speaking to him about it. There is very little devil and zero revenge. It was very obvious that Andy would end up with Alex from the get go although why she would want to had me scratching my head. For some reason the writer decided to write a long, boring pregnancy and too much tmi into the novel, no thanks. Being a person based in Silicon Valley I found it hard to follow andy's logic on not wanting to sell. Overall the Andy character wasn't like able. I remember feeling that way about her in TDVP but without Miranda around to counter her whiny annoying self righteous self she really is unbearable.Disappointing
3By GoldensnitchIt started out great. But then it got predictable in the middle. And the end? Blah. Boring. It really seems like Laura forgot who Andy was at that point.Revenge? Where?
1By JetschickWell, gee..seems the only reason this was written is for a movie sequel, that we can only hope will be based off a RE-written screenplay! It's a repetitive, time jumping confusion of characters that no one will recognize from TDWP. And there's is NO revenge so the title doesn't even work! Literally, I don't think there was one likable character except Max.. And then she ruined him too! Thanks to the author for turning in a bunch of characters that no one would even deal with, nevermind actually like, in the real world. All of these characters are jerks. Andrea is ridiculous. Whiny, no back bone and has a best friend that treats her like garbage, (who also doesn't care if her husband screws around on her) A husband that betrays her in one of the worst possible ways, a nasty snob for a mother-in-law and a business that is incredibly successful yet she doesn't spend much time at the company. She spends most of her time in fantasyland. Not to mention the fact that both the owners of this business are unbelievably bitchy to each other so it's laughable, that together, they could ever create something so successful as that magazine and then the author wants us to believe Miranda notices it? Huh? This is a dumb sequel with several reoccurring characters that have transformed into a huge flop. Zero strong woman in this follow up. Should have let them rest ...on the last page of TDWP! That's all...revenge wears prada
5By JeaguiAmazing bookPredictable but entertaining
3By Leen3dThere were few surprises in this book. Overall, it was an entertaining read. However, it didn't capture my interest and hold me captive. At times it dragged.Boring
2By AWonderfulMommyI loved the first book and the movie. This sequel did not live up to my expectations. I was very disappointed. It took me several months to finish this.Amazing!!!
5By cmodel1This is a must read if you liked The Devil Wears Prada. Lauren is even more creative in this book. I found myself not able to put the book down. Looking forward yo the next book.Not worth it
2By BdwaybuffHonestly, this book just felt like a boring and tacky romance novel with a few familiar characters in it (Who were much more clearly defined in the first book). Truly, I felt like Weisberger kept repeating herself over and over and over about the most mundane things and all of the plot points were completely predictable/forgettable. I felt slightly like I was tricked into reading this, lured in by the name of the original book (which I loved) and found myself reading a romance novel/baby book instead. It felt like fan fiction. Thumbs down.
