Intro to Reading: Blog 4

I read for 1 hour and 35 minutes from the book, The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger.  I was able to finish the book this time.  

I starting reading at the point in the book where Andrea had reached the climax, which kept building through having to make more in more choices where she had to choose work over those important people in her life.  And then came the big decision of going to Paris in her co-worker, Emily's, place, which not only nearly destroyed her relationship with Emily, but also her boyfriend, best friend, and put additional strain on her relationship with her parents as well.  In the end, Andrea decided to go to parents in order to keep her job.  It wasn't until her boss compared herself to Andrea that Andrea came to the realization of what her actions had made her and she had to make a choice:  was she going to keep going on the path that she was on or was she going to take action to save her true self and to keep those that she loved in her life.  Andrea chose the path of relationships and self identity. 

I loved reading this book.  It was easy for me to identify with Andrea and helped remind me that although there are many important things in life, not to forget the most important ones.
