Abstract
A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses
Description
Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - SOON TO BE A BROADWAY MUSICAL - The iconic novel that inspired the hit movie starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway--a gloriously wicked story about the ultimate Boss from Hell and the deals we make with the devil to get to the top
"The degree to which The Devil Wears Prada has penetrated pop culture needs no explanation."--Vanity Fair
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job "a million girls would die for." Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada Armani Versace at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child.
Andrea is sorely tested each and every day--and often late into the night--with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get her a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not it's worth the price of her soul.
Synopsis
An uproarious satire of a smash TV talent show, told from the point of view of a down-to-earth young woman who finds herself suddenly on the inside.
