About this listen
The hotly-anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada – the million copy bestseller that took the world by storm
Everything’s in place for the season’s hottest launch:
Tall latte (with two raw sugars)? Check.
Gucci trench (draped over desk)? Check.
Outrageous, unreasonable demands? Check.
Andy has just turned thirty and is an incredibly successful magazine editor, working closely with her best friend Emily, another Runway survivor. She’s about to get married – life’s on track and she’s been careful to stay clear of Miranda Priestly, her dreadful first boss. But Andy’s luck is running out. Miranda Priestly isn’t the kind of woman who hides in the background.
She’s back… and more devilish than ever.

‘Sparkling with Sex and the City-style glamour, this entertaining sequel comes a decade after the debut novel which became a smash-hit film’ Hello

What has happened to the bright, smart and aspiring Andy from before? How has she become so indecisive, insecure, self-conscious, inapprehensive and unobservant, not getting any clues or preferring to hide in a shell and hope the problems would somehow dissipate? She wanted to say something, but she didn’t… She decided to put it aside for a while… she preferred to postpone the conversation… she couldn’t face it right then… - and this goes through the entire book.
The Miranda character is also so different from the first book, just a cardboard depiction of a wicked woman with no depth or drama underneath. Very disappointing.
The plot is far-fetched and based on coincidences. People keep on bumping into each other in New York as if it was a tiny village. (Spoilers alert from now on!) Andy keeps on bumping into people: Emily on a cooking class, Alex in the shops, Alex’s girlfriend in mothers’ group – all meeting just by a mere chance! How many people are there in that city?
Apart from the coincidences, the whole plot is a stretch. And breastfeeding a newborn baby right after several rounds of strong drinks at a party?..
This book is really much worse than the first one. Even the title… Revenge? Who is taking revenge from whom?
The narration was OK though.
Indecisiveness and coincidences

Lots of description about glamorous lifestyles, magazines and clothes. The characters are likeable - or horrible (you know who) and the descriptions of their encounters is amusing.
It's well narrated brining the book to life.
If ever I need a distraction this book does the job nicely.
Delicious guilty pleasure!

Good story continuing from the previous novel

If you're a fan of the film or the previous book I certainly recommend you read this! I got way to emotionally attached as if Andy & Emily were my friends to. Loved it! Really hoping they make a film out of this.
Loved it!

At some points I wanted to shake Andi but on the whole the story was ok but had a predictable ending - it was also a bit long
Not quite as good as the devil wears prada
