The Devil Wears Prada Collection: The Devil Wears Prada, Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
This is actually a re-read because I got an e-galley of the third book in the series. I read this one back when it first came out, but I didn't read the sequel.
I'm not that crazy about the book (although I still love the movie). I remember liking it when it came out, but back then, Andy and I were about the same age. Reading it as a grownup, Andy comes across as completely petulant and obnoxious. Yes, Miranda is a pretty awful boss, but most of it is garden-variety bad. (The Harry Potter thing is unreasonable, and yes, she's mean a lot of the time. But your boss expecting you to answer your phone? That's normal. And while wanting to take longer to run errands and expense things that you really shouldn't may ALSO be normal, actually doing it makes you a crappy employee.
I know this makes it sound like I really didn't like the book; I did. I'm excited to keep going, because I think I'll like Andy more when she grows up (and I already love Emily).
