The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisenberger

This was a clever story – I can tell why it was made into a movie with Anne-whats-her-face acting out her toilsome existence in that aging, Disney sort of way. Not that I’ve seen the movie. If you have you probably know the story: Andrea is fresh out of college and ends up working for an overly-demanding boss at Runway magazine. Of course, she knows nothing about fashion and her boss is an absolute terror. Strangely, though the book was completely predictable, I was hoping for a clever plot twist at the end. But I didn’t get it. There’s a love story, a best friend, a question of priorities, and everything turns out all right in the end. However, it was amusing to delve into that high fashion New York lifestyle that most of us never glimpse in our lifetimes, and the boss is truly evil, which is entertaining as well. I don’t have a favorite quote for this one, strangely.
