Pastime Pleasures #3 – Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

Welcome to my  feature, Pastime Pleasures, posted every other Friday. Today is the turn of Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. Here I will look at books that have given me great pleasure in the past. These are books I can read over and over again.

Broken-hearted. Bored. (Not necessarily in that order.) WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY. Angie James is lost. A regular poster girl for Generation Screwed, being 22 isn’t what she expected. What happens when having fun isn’t, you know, fun? In the Brooklyn townhouse she shares with her best friends, Angie wants to figure out what to do with her life. But wild parties, bad dates, dead-end jobs, demanding fashionistas and even true love just keep getting in the way… Who knew adulthood would be so damn grown-up? When I started reading Brooklyn Girls: Angie I thought it was a long the lines of the chick-lit I use to read as a teenager (the Mates, Dates series or the Princess Diaries), cutesy books. And I was right… except there is a lot more swearing and sex.  When I read this book, I had realised it was part of a series, it was only […]
