Newly graduated from college, writer Andrea Sachs lucks into a job that "a million girls would die for." She is the less than fashionable personal assistant to a powerful New York fashion editor, Miranda Priestly of Runway magazine. Dying to write for a serious magazine, Andrea is willing to endure the trials and tribulations of her current position for a year. She’s told that a personal recommendation from Miranda will guarantee her a job at the New Yorker. Unfortunately, Andrea may have sold her soul to the devil. Can Andrea maintain her integrity while being pushed to the limits? Weisberger’s satire will make you glad that you do not have the job “that a million girls would die for.”
