“The Devil Wears Prada’s Emily Charlton gets the spin-off she deserves” (Cosmopolitan) in the months-long New York Times bestseller from Lauren Weisberger in which three women team up to bring a bad man down in the tony suburb of Greenwich, Connecticut.
Welcome to Greenwich, Connecticut, where the lawns and the women are perfectly manicured, the Tito’s and sodas are extra strong, and everyone has something to say about the infamous new neighbor.
Let’s be clear Emily Charlton does not do the suburbs. After leaving Miranda Priestly, she’s been working in Hollywood as an image consultant to the stars, but recently, Emily’s lost a few clients. She’s hopeless with social media. The new guard is nipping at her heels. She needs a big opportunity, and she needs it now.
When Karolina Hartwell, a gorgeous former supermodel, is arrested, her fall from grace is merciless. Her senator-husband leaves her, her Beltway friends disappear, and the tabloids pounce.
In Karolina, Emily finds her comeback opportunity. But she quickly learns Greenwich is a world apart and that this comeback needs a team approach.
So it is that Emily, the scorned Karolina, and their mutual friend Miriam, a powerful attorney turned stay-at-home mom, band together to navigate the social land mines of suburban Greenwich and win back the hearts of the American public. Along the way, an unexpected ally emerges in one Miranda Priestly.
With her signature wit, Lauren Weisberger offers an alluring look into a sexy, over-the-top world—and proves it’s style and substance together that gets the job done. “A delicious sequel to The Devil Wears Prada…exploring what it’s like to be a woman buffeted by conflicting messages about career, relationships, and motherhood” (The Washington Post), When Life Gives You Lululemons is “amazing novel about…truth, lies and how everyone is a little bit insecure” (Associated Press). “Fast-paced, funny, and gossipy, this is the must-have accessory for your beach bag” (PopSugar).

"I liked “The Devil Wore Prada†because it was an out-of-the ordinary plot. This book, however, quickly evolved into the lost love/strong survivor clique that characterizes so much of so-called women’s literature. Couple that with one character’s perfect husband and another’s almost perfect husband and there’s not a lot of tension to move things forward. Not the worst of this genre but still pretty contrived."

When Life Gives You Lululemons Lauren Weisberger 9781476778457 Books Reviews
- Lauren Weisberger never disappoints and she doesn’t with “When Life Gives You Lulumons...†either. It’s the perfect beach day read, or a night in. I read it in one sitting and laughed out loud. The return of Emily after a few years of marriage and a lot of growing up is delightful. And the bits where Miranda Priestly returns are actually a riot. Add 2 best friends, one very monstrous husband and mix them with the Über wealthy Connecticut mommy competitiveness and you've got a jewel of a book. My only negative...I read it so quickly and now I have to wait till the next book from Lauren.
- I liked “The Devil Wore Prada†because it was an out-of-the ordinary plot. This book, however, quickly evolved into the lost love/strong survivor clique that characterizes so much of so-called women’s literature. Couple that with one character’s perfect husband and another’s almost perfect husband and there’s not a lot of tension to move things forward. Not the worst of this genre but still pretty contrived.
- Amusing premise but much more hyperbolic character stereotyping than satire or wit. Predictable. Ok for light beach reading.
I think the author has taken this series as far as it can/should possibly go. - I read this because the book club I am in wanted to read something "fluffy". (Personally, I like "heavy" things.) Yep, our book club got just what the suggestor wanted. A light and airy, fluffy, meaningless, let's go get our nails done, to hell with reading good stuff book.
- First of all, let me say that I love “chick litâ€. I really honestly like this kind of books and read many, some are better than others. This book is well written and entertaining, but I found it really problematic and dated. I can’t believe that in the year 2018 we have to read how these “sexy/ attractive/ beautiful†women have to “starve†to be in shape. I find it really dangerous. Not only that, Emily (who is the main character and maybe our heroine?) not only recommends starvation but also diet coke (which she even gives to a 5 year old saying that it is “good for youâ€), pills and cigarettes. Sigh. I understand that she is sarcastic, but there should be some character or commentary about these being really unhealthy habits. And the other issue that I wish had been dealt with less “naturalization†was that of vagina plastic surgeries to each their own, but there are many health professionals that claim that they are dangerous, and they perpetuate an image of women that is ridiculous wanting to look and feel like a “teenager down there†sounds like something a really insipid woman would say. I really found the book and the characters funny, and I understand that this is fiction, but they seemed a lot older than they are. I am 39 and I think that I am much more modern than these ladies. They remind me of my mother, who is on her sixties.
Do not buy if you are expecting a Devil Wears Prada sequel. This is not it. If they hadn’t mentioned Runway a couple of times (and Miranda), it wouldn’t have made a difference. This book stands alone.
My conclusion is If you are a well-adjusted adult who knows who she is, please, by all means read this book! But keep it away from insecure women, from teenagers and from people with image or health issues. Fixating on 15 pounds overweight is so silly and “90s†that I just wish that there had been one character calling them all out on all this being skinny and rich and married is not a worthy goal. Have fun! - This will sound harsh. There are so many good books waiting to be read. I am so sorry I wasted time and money on this one. Cliche, trite, boring and insulting to women everywhere..
- This chick-lit, contemporary fiction was so fun to read, I had to give it <b>4 Stars</b>!
<b>SUMMARY</b>
A decade after <i>The Devil Wears Prada</i>, Emily is a celebrity publicist, living in LA, happily married and still fabulous! Her BFF, Marion has recently relocated to Greenwich, CT and left her career to be a full time stay at home mom to her three children. Although their lives are on very different paths, they have stayed close.
One day, on a work related visit to NYC, Emily stops in to visit Marion. Since Emily's husband is on an extended business trip out of the country, Emily decides to spend the night with Marion, which actually ends up becoming weeks versus a night.
In the meantime, a scandal breaks. A former Victoria's Secret Model \ current senator's wife is arrested for a DUI with, not only her son in the car, but several of his friends. It turns into a huge reputation ruining media storm. - this book is a total snooze fest.
by the first chapter I had already figured out every single plot and the very predictable ending The characters are all very cliched and beyond cheesy
Not funny or entretaining at all
a total waste of money
