I saw the movie when it came out. Meryl Streep was so good that I can’t visualize Miranda as anyone else. Seems the movie followed the book fairly well, but the book bored me whereas the movie was so much fun.

Since only this book in the trilogy was produced as a movie, I’m curious if the other two will read better done I won’t have a basis of comparison.

nonidude's review against another edition

Every joke is at the expense of another whether it's ableist, elitest, fatphobic, racist or just downright rude! I didn't find any character loveable enough to care about and the name dropping of celebrities just got tiresome.

This was a good read! I’ve seen the movie so had an idea of what the book was about. It follows Andy’s journey as an assistant to one of the top fashion magazine editors in the world. I do think the story dragged on a bit in a few spots, but I would recommend this book as a good summer vacation read!
