Set ten years after Andy quits Runway, she is minutes from walking down the aisle to marry Max and running her own magazine with ex-Runway staffer, Emily (who has turned into her best friend, bonding over a mutual hatred of Miranda Priestly).
They have built their wedding magazine using connections from their Runway days, albeit blurring the truth to meet their needs. While both Andy and Emily fear repercussions for doing so, they do know that without using them, they will not succeed.
A chance meeting with Miranda at a society function, brings back all of Andy's nightmares and anxiety about being around this woman. This is very real to me, having read The Devil Wears Prada and knowing Andy's past with Miranda.
Soon after, Andy and Emily are called in to meet with Miranda where they are made an offer: sell their magazine to Elias Clark, the catch is, they will need to work for Miranda again, for a year.
Andy has her doubts of how this will work, knowing that it cannot be done, however Emily pushes for Andy to make the 'right' decision.
An unexpected pregnancy in a troubled marriage holds back Andy's decision as her friend and husband urge ever to take the deal, leading to a betrayal after the birth of her child that she cannot accept.
At first, the time skips back and forth to explain how Andy and Emily reconnected, and how Andy and Max met are a little confusing and they do take some getting used to, but overall it was an interesting conclusion to the Andy/Miranda story, albeit the revenge that the title implied was less than I was expecting, and Miranda seems almost somewhat less 'devil'-like than in the previous book.
Rating: 3/5
