When Life Gives You Lululemons

A Devil Wears Prada Novel

De: Lauren Weisberger

Narrado por: Laura Benanti

New York Times best-selling author Lauren Weisberger returns with a novel starring one of her favorite characters from The Devil Wears Prada - Emily Charlton, first assistant to Miranda Priestly, now a highly successful image consultant who's just landed the client of a lifetime.

Welcome to Greenwich, CT, where the lawns are manicured, the Long Island iced teas are extra strong, and heads turn when an infamous new neighbor arrives for an extended long weekend.

After Emily Charlton left Miranda Priestly and Runway magazine, she migrated to Los Angeles with her husband, working most recently as an image consultant to the stars. But recently Emily's lost a few clients. She's struggling. When the opportunity arrives to reinvent and relaunch a gorgeous former model whose mugshot graces the cover of the New York Post, Emily jumps at the chance. Relaunching Karolina is the big leagues.

Until eight weeks ago, Karolina was also the wife of an up-and-coming hotshot senator from New York. On the heels of her husband's very public philandering, Karolina finds herself arrested for drunk driving - with a Suburban full of other people's children. Her only true friend is Miriam, a hotshot New York City attorney turned stay-at-home-mom who lives in tiny Greenwich - conveniently close to Karolina and Graham's summer "cottage".

Miriam, Emily, and Karolina make an unlikely trio, but they need each other. Badly. Together, they'll navigate the social landmines of the suburbs on the path to reinvention - unearthing truths that were stirring below the surface all along, and getting a bit of revenge along the way. With her signature biting, dazzling style, Lauren Weisberger offers a glittering look into a sexy, over-the-top world like no one else can.

Good but boring

I liked the characters and the dynamic but overall felt the story was bland. Felt like a flat line the whole time, no climax.

Loved it! I needed a fun uplifting book.

The narrator was seamless and made it an easy listen. I'm excited to listen to the next book.

Perfect summer read

For someone who worked in Greenwich, CT for a few years, I absolutely loved this story. The depictions of the housewives were spot on and all characters were believable.

I never read The Devil Wears Prada but saw the movie numerous times. This book, to me, was a great sequel, with a good amount of the old but definitely a lot of new characters and stories to latch onto.

This was a perfect audio-book for the summer - would recommend to anyone who appreciates Desperate Housewives-Esq stories!

So, so good!

Loved this recording! I found myself putting in my earbuds to pick up the house and listening every time I got in the car. The performance gave the characters depth and made them seem more real!

Fun Fiction

I seldom or rarely listen to fiction. Occupational hazard making it too easy to figure out the ending. However, I decided Miranda Priestly is always fun so I splurged for a fun read. It is a fun read! That's all.

Love the characters!

I loved this book! Emily is a riot - loved her brutal honesty. The story is great and I liked all the characters. And so fun to have Miranda back for a cameo! I have listened to this twice - it's that fun.

love me some lulu's

I really enjoyed this title. I was never bored except I knew from the beginning that her husband set her up . So maybe I have to say it was a little predictable

Excellent

I listened to this, didn't realize it was part of a trilogy. But having watched the Devil Wears Prada movie it all made sense. Great narration!!
As a west coast girl I enjoyed the setting . I also enjoyed the descriptions of the clothing and interiors. The Three main characters are so lovable! Emily made me smile and laugh the entire book .
I have the next book purchased and downloaded. Ill be reading them off order , but I don't think it will matter .

Good Book

This was a fun book to read. I really dispised the Emily character and wish more of a life lesson would've been taught to her about the value of family and friends.

Fun Read.

I enjoyed this book on vacation. It was exactly what I needed. The characters were engaging and well developed. I enjoyed this read.
