First published 2004
Andrea Sachs walks into the gleaming offices of Runway magazine on her first day as assistant to Miranda Priestly. The recent college graduate from a small town finds herself surrounded by designer labels and impossibly stylish coworkers who transform into frightened children the moment Miranda speaks. Andrea's days blur together in a parade of impossible tasks: flying Harry Potter books to Paris via private jet, hunting down mysterious antique stores, delivering lattes at exact temperatures. She endures the phone calls, the demands, and the sleepless nights because Miranda's recommendation can open doors at any magazine she wants. But as the requests grow more outrageous and the personal cost mounts higher, Andrea faces a choice. The job that seemed like every girl's dream might destroy everything she values about herself.
