DON'T MISS THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2, NOW IN THEATERS!"The degree to which The Devil Wears Prada has penetrated pop culture needs no explanation."-Vanity FairA gloriously wicked story about the ultimate Boss from Hell and the deals we make with the devil to get to the topAndrea 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.
