REVIEW
This book is an engaging read full of scandal, drama, and humor featuring suburbanites and wealthy stay-at-home moms.
Emily Charlton was Miranda Priestly’s assistant in The Devil Wears Prada, in this book she has moved on from Runaway magazine life and into image consulting in Hollywood.
Karolina, a former super model and now the wife of a senator gets in trouble and Emily heads to the suburbs to help. Miriam used to be a successful and overworked attorney who now finds herself a stay-at-home mom in Greenwich.
The lives of these three women converge and the novel manages to tackle female friendship, marriage, and body-image issues while maintaining a breezy and lighthearted tone.
The story is told from the alternating points of view of Emily, Miriam, and Karolina and takes place in Greenwich, Connecticut. I found it entertaining, humorous, and compelling.Â
Overall, I liked it and recommend it to readers of contemporary fiction.
I didnât realize this book was connected to The Devil Wears Prada! Thanks for the excellent review.
I didnât know either until I started reading it đ Downloaded the audiobook from the library and enjoyed it đ
Great review. I didn’t realize Emily had moved and had a different career in this book. It sounds like a good story.
Yes, it was a good story. It was hard for me to reconcile the Emily from The Devil Wears Prada to this Emily but still was a fun read
