Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger
One Million Readers Would Kill for a Better Sequel
The Devil Wears Prada launched Lauren Weisberger’s career, but did its long-awaited literary sequel have anything new to say? Arnie reviews Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, exploring why the novel abandons everything that made the original compelling. From Miranda Priestly’s surprisingly minor role to a meandering, nearly plotless story, this review also examines Weisberger’s post-Prada career, publishing history, and why Disney wisely ignored this book when creating The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Book Synopsis
Almost a decade has passed since Andy Sachs quit 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. Even better, Andy has met the love of her life. Max Harrison is confident, successful, and drop-dead gorgeous. Their wedding will be splashed across all the society pages. But karma's a bitch. She never suspected that her efforts to build a brand new life would lead her back to the darkness she barely escaped -- and directly into the path of the devil herself.
