The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

Andy wants more than anything to write. At this point, she doesn't care where. She needs a job. After interviewing at Runway magazine, Andy finds herself as the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the demanding editor-in-chief. Miranda is needy, impatient, and demanding and Andy hates her job, but knows if she puts in a year there it will open up many job opportunities for her. Andy stays with the job, until she can't take it anymore. After having a few choice words with Miranda, Andy leaves Runway and goes home. The story ends on a happy note when Andy is hired by Seventeen magazine and meets Loretta, who happened to have also worked at Runway.

I enjoyed the movie so I tried the book. The characters were perfectly portrayed, but I felt that towards the middle of the book I got sort of bored. It was a lot of just Andy complaining and about how she was unhappy. It picked up towards the end of the book though and ended on a high note. Overall, I did enjoy it and if you liked the movie then you'll like this.
