The new novel from the author of The Devil Wears Prada. Emily Charlton, ex-assistant to legendary fashion editor Miranda Priestly, does not do the suburbs. She's a successful stylist and image consultant to Hollywood's stars but - thanks to the Snapchatting millennials stealing precious business - her career's under threat. When Graham Hartwell, a senator with presidential ambitions, frames and publicly dumps her old friend Karolina, Emily winds up in Greenwich - with the client of a lifetime. He couldn't have known what's coming. He's reckoned without the wives...

I‘ve read a few books by the author, especially the one that everyone knows her for and this is my favorite! It‘s a fun story and yes it gets a bit steamy but all of it worked and wrapped up everything nicely

Emily Charlton(The Devil Wears Prada) is reunited with her long-time friend Miriam and Miriam's friend Karolina (who is Emily's acquaintance). The three women take on scandle, marriage, motherhood, careers, and the suburbs through blunt and biting humor. It makes for an ok vacation read. #femaleauthor #womanwriter #laurenweisberger #whenlifegivesyoulululemons #beachread #vacationbook #humour #harpercollins #fiction

This made for a fun pool/beach side romp! And while the ending isn't super hard to guess it also didn't feel stale. I'm with Emily though, on feeling like I'll *never* move to the suburbs, haha.

It was also nice to get a little Miranda Priestly cameo! (I can't be the only one who effortlessly pictures Meryl 😄)

Sundays have become what I think of as my "Manhattan days". I take the subway into the city, meet my trainer in the park, grab brunch from one of my favorite spots, and just walk around before heading back to spend the rest of the week in BK. Today, I walked from the UWS to Union Square and just had to stop and support @strandbookstore ?

PS: I *wish* life would give me Lululemons, bc as a bit of an addict I can tell you that shit ain't cheap ?

A great beach read! It was fun to revisit Emily (even got a bit of Miranda 🤗) and to get to know Miriam and Karolina. Their friendship felt real and I enjoyed the women-coming-together trope.

I had a really difficult time getting interested and staying interested in this one... I kept forgetting which characters did what and how things were connecting. Definitely not a favorite.

Emily led her by the arm to the kitchen table and poured her a glass of cold white wine.

“Shouldn‘t you be making me chamomile tea or something?”

“Oh, yes. Tea really helps everything.”

You can picture Emily‘s eye roll. 🙄 Lauren Weisberger says what I‘ve been thinking for a while. 😂

A perfect romp through Greenwich, CT & the plethora of strange, wealthy couples practicing overt infidelity. I loved how, though we did get one scene with Andy & several with Miranda, this was all about Emily, now a PR goddess, & the life changes she makes to help out a bestie, Miriam, & Miriam's bestie, Karolina, as they navigate the dark side of federal politics & public image to win Karolina's impending breakup with her husband, a US senator.

Well, at least this one had a story line - albeit a predictable one. But it‘s like Weisburger just pretended Revenge Wears Prada didn‘t exist. No mention of the magazine and the timeline doesn‘t add up if that book happened.

Book 4 for #14books14weeks

I havent read much of it but Lauren Weisberger is a excellent writer. I never read any of the "The Devil Wears Prada" series but this is a great choice. Such an interesting read

This is a pretty funny read so far. There's some overused stereotypes of the skinny housewife, badly behaved rich people, etc. but it's a good mindless read if you need one of those. I just wish Target would stop putting the unnecessary stickers on the cover. #FirstWorldProblems

Also, I'm subbing at a STEM elementary today, and the kids are freaked out by my Zipfizz. They asked what experiment I did to turn my water orange. 🤣

Not my usual type of book but this was delightful. I can't help but wish for a movie sequel since Devil Wears Prada is... iconic.

Now what to read next... 🤔🤔🤔

Had to put #Becoming on hold because the cold I caught has my eyes too watery to read, so I listened to Lululemons instead. I worried that a name-brand book isn‘t for me, but I got into it & now I‘m not sick any more. Just kidding; I‘m still sick, but I have a new bottle of off-brand cold medicine & another audiobook on #Libby.

This is the perfect, salacious chick-lit novel when you need a mindless, funny read. There are laugh-out-loud, as well as plenty of omigod moments.

There are also plenty of vapid characters, but it's on brand with the image Weisberger tries to create.

Never before has a book made me question if my yoga pants needed an upgrade...more references to plastic surgery and philandering husbands than my average read, but entertaining nonetheless. I can't help but see Emily Charlton as Emily Blunt, and her bitchy sass is still satisfying. The end raises a few eyebrows with one trivial concern in the spoilers below. #mommyreads #chicklit #ebook

I kinda wanted to surprise myself & like this but there was just so much that I found problematic that I did well to finish it. Eye roll and cringe were my most frequent actions whilst reading it. I can see how it could be entertaining - it's easy reading, undemanding escapism, all sass & snark writing, but ... it's a No from me. And the sex toy party chapter was gratuitous titillation that brought nothing to the narrative - just cringe.
