Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger

    Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger is the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. The story takes place ten years after Andy Sachs left Paris and Runway. Andy has joined together with Emily Charlton to start The Plunge,  a high-end bridal magazine. Andy also has a different love interest named Max who is her fiancé. Just when Andy thought her life was moving forward from her awful Miranda Priestly days, the past comes back in an unexpected way.

 

    I thought the beginning of the book was a little slow for me. I didn't start getting really in to it till the middle. It took me a long time to read this book because of that. If I remember correctly it was the same way for The Devil Wears Prada for me. Even with all that I really enjoyed this book! I wanted to stay up all night to finish it but my eyes closed on me before I could so I finished it this morning and I'll be honest and say that I did get very teary at the end. I'm flying to visit my sister in a couple of days and will definitely pack this so she can read it next.

 

    If this book does become a movie I am very interested to see how Anne Hathaway would be as Andy in this stage of Andy's life. I can't see Anne Hathaway playing that character. But the book isn't about Anne Hathaway it's about Andrea Sachs.

Brunette Ambition By Lea Michele

    I have no idea why it has taken me so long to finally write this since I finished the book weeks ago. Brunette Ambition by Lea Michele is about Lea's biography, cooking tips, make up tips, workouts, etc. It's a little bit of everything all in one. I like to read books that celebrities write because I like to hear their side of the story since you never really know what in the press is true. I enjoy learning about their past or perhaps a behind the scene look at my favorite shows but sometimes I hate them too. I know I'm very confusing. The reason why I sometimes hate them is because at some point in the book it just sounds like the celebrity author is showing off sort of. I can't think of the word right now, stupid brain! It just seems like they are rubbing in how famous they are, how wonderful their life is, how spoiled they are. Occasionally its like they are saying look at all I have and you don't. Maybe it's just me and you are thinking I am just a very jealous person but I swear I'm not. I enjoy my life and wouldn't trade it for anything... I have a feeling I am going to get very misunderstood in this post...

    Anyways I loved Lea's book! I thought it was well written as if she was just having a conversation with you. The fact that she was from NJ and became such a success at a very young age is just incredible (the NJ thing is because I'm from NJ, yay Jersey!). She included great stories even some embarrassing ones which means she isn't afraid to be herself. Her recipes she included look delicious and I can't wait to try one! I would recommend her book to anyone. My favorite part of the book is where she talks about pampering yourself and even though you are super tired and just want to go to bed after a long day to stay up a little longer and do a face mask. It will make you feel so much better in the morning. After reading that chapter I started to pamper myself a little more like taking a long bath while reading through the stack of magazines I have and drink a glass of wine. I felt like a million dollars the rest of the day and even the next couple of days. I can't wait to do that again and just relax. Read her book and pamper yourself! Go ahead get her book and read it in a bubble bath!
