I read for 1 hour and 40 minutes from the book, The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. As I am more of a slow reader, I was able to get through the first three chapters of the book.
From what I have read thus far, I would say the book is about a young college graduate named Andrea who is seeking to become a writer for The New Yorker, but as jobs are scarce she'll take whatever she can get that is somewhat relative to the field of journalism. That is when Elias Clark steps in with an opening as Miranda Priestly's assistant at Runway, a big-time fashion magazine; rumor is you work for her for a year and do a good job, then you can get a job at any magazine you want. Andrea, although not big on the fashion world, sees this as her shortcut to success and the ticket to getting her dream job at The New Yorker.
I find this book to be fun, interesting, and life relatable; these are just a few of the reasons to why I believe I have enjoyed it thus far. Andrea is struggling with something I as well as many post and current college students struggle with: what to do with one's life in the real world after college and how to go about it. Lauren Weisberger seems to be taking us on a comical journey of life after college through Andrea and her struggle to find herself amist the world of fashion. I'm excited to see where Weisberger will lead me as I emerse myself in this adventure.
