Books Like The Devil wears Prada
If you loved The Devil wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
Readers who love The Devil Wears Prada usually come for the glossy insider view of a demanding magazine world, a sharp-tongued boss, and a heroine who is funny about how absurd her job is while slowly questioning what it costs her. The pace is brisk, the tone wry and conversational, and the emotional core is a young woman trying to hold on to herself inside a high-pressure career. Expect plenty of fashion, office politics and sharp dialogue.
Same glossy workplace satire
Bridget Jones's Diary
Helen Fielding
Like Weisberger's heroine, Bridget is a funny, self-deprecating young woman in a London job she half-despises, and the diary format keeps the wit and office misadventures coming fast.
The Nanny Diaries
Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus
Written with the same sardonic eye on a privileged, exacting employer, this novel follows a young woman learning how much of herself she is willing to give up for a glamorous job.
Fashion and power
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Sophie Kinsella
Kinsella pairs a shopping-obsessed heroine with a fast-paced, funny look at image-driven careers, much like the fashion world Andy navigates in The Devil Wears Prada.
A lighter read
Something blue
Emily Giffin
Giffin's chatty, warm voice and tangled romantic choices will appeal to readers who enjoyed the witty, accessible tone of The Devil Wears Prada.
Good in bed
Jennifer Weiner
Weiner writes with the same brisk humour and frank female voice, following a heroine who must rebuild her confidence on her own terms.
Go deeper
Bright lights, big city
Jay McInerney
McInerney's sharp, knowing look at a young assistant in New York publishing and the glamour that hollows her out will suit readers who liked Andy's climb through the fashion world.
