Nearly a decade after The Devil Wears Prada, Weisberger revisits her heroine Andy Sachs—former assistant to the vicious Miranda Priestly of Runway magazine. Now the editor of her own wildly successful bridal magazine, Andy is about to marry media mogul Max Harrison. Although all seems to be going well, a series of events catapult Andy back to her self-conscious Runway days. Her image-obsessed mother-in-law (whose over the top snobbery makes her nearly indistinguishable from Miranda) thinks Andy isn't good enough for Max, and her business partner Emily wants to sell their magazine to Elias-Clark, the publisher of Runway, which would make Andy once again a servant to Miranda. Weisberger adds many plot elements that put Andy and her lifetyle in jeopardy—and while the resolutions won't shock—Andy's character is what drives the book, after all- this sequel is a fun summer read.

Overview
Eight years have passed since Andrea "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. Now Andy's on the top of the world: she's writing and reporting to her heart's content; running The Plunge, her wildly successful high fashion bridal magazine with Miranda's other ex-assistant, Emily; and most importantly, getting married to the scion of a storied media family and the love of her life.
But the night before her wedding, Andy can't sleep. As happy as she is-as happy as she should be-she's still haunted by the specter of her former boss. Maybe it's survivor syndrome? Or maybe it's justifiable, self-inflicted, paranoia. From the start, Andy and Emily have felt entitled to use their rolodex of contacts-Miranda's contacts-from Runway as they make their way in the magazine world. As The Plunge succeeds, Andy and Emily realize they'll soon come face to face with their former tormenter at industry functions, award ceremonies, and even weddings. Still, Andy can hardly anticipate the horrifying reality that's approaching-a reversal so profound that she will be squarely in Miranda's crosshairs once more.
Karma's a bitch. And Andy's efforts to build a bright new life have led her directly to the one she fled-and into the path of the Devil herself.

Ten years after her uncouth exit from Runway magazine, Andy Sachs is back. Some things have changed—Emily is now her best friend—but so many things are just the same. New York is still full of beautiful overachievers wearing over-the-top fashions. As Emily and Andy embark on a joint business venture, Andy meets Mr. Right, and her old nemesis Miranda Priestly reappears on the scene. Will Andy be able to keep her life on track amid the oncoming storm of the devil herself? Sure to delight fans of the original, this follow-up offers characters, drama, and indulgent lifestyles to rival the original, but the contest ends there. While not quite as good as the first book, this work is still a great beach read. Megan Hilty creates a cast of characters that are well differentiated and classy or shameless, as appropriate. VERDICT Highly recommended for public libraries. Fans of the original or of Candace Bushnell's books will be running after this in their stilettos.—Lisa Anderson, Omaha P.L.
Weisberger's sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a 2003 best-seller inspired by the author's time working for Anna Wintour at Vogue. It's been 10 years and Andy Sachs is still haunted by the memory of evil Miranda Priestly, her former boss at women's fashion bible Runway. No longer Miranda's lackey, Andy is now a successful writer and founder of a glossy wedding magazine called The Plunge. Andy's former co-worker at Runway, Emily, once an enemy, is now her best friend and business partner. And Alex, Andy's longtime boyfriend and first love, is with a new woman. As the book opens, Andy marries Max, investor in The Plunge and a great-guy-from-a-wealthy-family (whose mother briefly attempts to sabotage the nuptials). When Miranda finally resurfaces, wanting to acquire The Plunge, Andy must decide if she can compromise dignity for money. The plot doesn't heat up until the final third, when infidelity, backstabbing, betrayal and corporate shenanigans converge. By then there's a cute baby, too. As for Miranda: Be warned, she's in few scenes and not exactly the monster of hellion proportions fans remember. This is Andy's story--a story at times all over the place, with some questionable turns in logic, but with a happy, somewhat unexpected ending. The Devil is back…sort of. Not as fast-paced or exciting as the original, but diehard Prada fans will want to check it out.
