As a longtime Weisberger fan, I was thrilled to receive an ARC of this much-anticipated novel, which catches us up on what Miranda Priestly’s (“The Devil Wears Prada”) first assistant, Emily, has been up to. If you read <i>Prada</i>, you knew Emily as the bitchy, Size 0, social climber that she was. The new Emily is a bit softer in this novel, as a celebrity fixer who’s getting past her prime because of her lack of social media skills. And now she’s size 4. 

You’re also introduced to Emily’s friend Miriam, a former lawyer turned suburban-stay-at-home-mom and Miriam’s friend, Karolina, a former supermodel turned senator’s wife and doting stepmother who’s caught in a vicious press scandal. 

I wanted to love this book. Truly. There were some parts I enjoyed and thankfully it picked up at about the 70% mark (for you e-readers).  It just didn’t feel like Weisberger’s usual wit and cutting jabs (even from Emily). I’m glad I didn’t go in expecting a 3rd portion of the <i>Prada</i> series, but we did get a dash of Miranda—which again felt forced. 

I’d recommend for a light beach read but I’d put it on my library waiting list.

Really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read on lazy weekend. The three main characters at first didn't seem to have a lot in common and before long it was obvious how similar they were. I enjoyed the "twists" in the book also.

I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in one day.  I think it is a great escape and a fun and easy read.  I have always loved Emily, and I think she just shines in this book.

I think all of Lauren’s Weisberger’s books are a great escape for a little while, and make me feel like I am hanging out with a bunch of my friends with some great stories.

I would like to see Karolyn’s spin off into her own book too!

If you are looking for a great summer pool or beach read, this is perfect!

This is my favorite in the series so far. (I'm not sure if there will be a fourth installment.) I loved the idea that Emily is now basically Olivia Pope and that she's working to take down this hideous person (that's Graham, if the synopsis doesn't make it clear).

My one problem (minor spoiler): For the entire series up to and including most of this book, Emily has been super clear about not wanting or even particularly liking kids. And then she gets pregnant accidentally and is soon so happy and excited about it. I think this is a little insulting, the presumption that every woman wants kids, even if they say they don't.  (And I get that this is something that probably wouldn't even bother a lot of people, so it definitely could just be a me thing.)

Even so, basically everything about this book is perfect for summer. It's completely fun and is perfect beach-or-poolside reading material. It's sort of a First Wives Club for the modern age, and I think that's something most of us could get behind. (NOTE: only one character is divorce-bound, so the analogy is more to do with women banding together and kicking ass.)

I have read several beach reads this year and all have been enj0yable but I really delighted in Lauren Weisberger’s latest book. If you loved The Devil Wears Prada, you will absolutely be absorbed by this one; even if you never read the first one (I saw the movie), you will still be entranced by the latest in the series.

There are three main characters, Emily, Karolina and Miriam, who are all married and are going through different phases of marriage and parenthood. Each has her problems but they all pull together to help each other and Weisberger’s acerbic, astringent and witty writing had me laughing out loud.

Pre-order now so you can read it as soon as it comes out; you won’t regret it! 

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC in exchange for an objective review.

I think sometimes when you have a book that’s a huge success, like Devil Wears Prada, it can be hard to follow it up,but Laura Weisberger does so brilliantly with Life Gives You LuLuLemons, the third book in the Devil series. ( I’m deliberately not mentioned the second book which, I’m just writing off as an anomaly)
This book focuses on Emily, Miranda Priestly’s former first assistant, who now lives in L.A and is just as sassy and snarky as ever. 
LuluLemons is the perfect beach read, a break from reality, a peak into the lives of the rich and Uber famous.
If you were disappointed by Revenge, I urge you to check out Life With LuLuLemons..Laura Weisberger is back, and at the top of her game once again! 

Thank you Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for an ARC of this book.. all opinions are my own

If you loved the devil wears Prada, you'll love this third book of the series. This book had me in stitches.
I loved the whole series. This book might be my favorite out of this series.

Emily Charlton, the first assistant to Miranda Priestly, now a highly successful image consult who's just landed the client of a lifetime.

Emily lives in Hollywood and she's an image consultant with a few famous people. She's lost a few clients to a younger and prettier consultant though. She's hopeless with social media and she needs bigger opportunities in life.

Karolina Hartwell is as A-list as they come. She's the wife to the senator and she's the face of Loreal.  Unfortunately for her she gets pulled over by the cops and gets a DUI. She insists she wasn't drunk and she had children in her car, her stepson being one of them. Her husband can't believe she would be so stupid and she needs someone to fix her image now more than ever.

Miriam is the link between them. She was a lawyer before but she's taken time off to be with her children. 

They all need each other's help in different ways.  This book is craziness and just all over funny. I couldn't stop laughing.

This is the 3rd book in the Devil Wears Prada series. I enjoyed this fun read. This book focuses on Emily & her circle of friends. It was funny at times. It was a fun read. 

Thanks to Netgalley & Lauren Weisberger for the advanced copy.

I received an advance copy of this book from Net Galley. I was so excited to get this book, as I remember loving the Devil Wears Prada book and movie. This book focuses on Emily, who was the first assistant in that book, along with two of her friends. This was a great read for me about female friendships, and while there are moments that feature Miranda and Emily's Runway life, this is a standalone story in most ways. The characters are likeable, which I was worried they wouldn't be (I didn't think Emily was always likeable in the first book).

Very fast enjoyable read. Highly recommend.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon and Schuster, and Lauren Weisberger for the opportunity to read and review her latest book - loved it!

This is apparently my week for sequels and again this book did not disappoint and was maybe a better book than the first (is that sacrilegious to say about The Devil Wears Prada?).  This book is probably a tad more relatable I thought, which made it even more fun.

This book centers around Emily - the past assistant to Miranda Priestly - who is now an image consultant in Hollywood.  When a couple clients ditch her, she heads to NYC for a break while her husband is out of town.  Her friend Miranda, a high-powered attorney in NYC who gave up her job to move to Greenwich, CT, and be a stay-at-home mom, convinces her to come for a visit.  Meanwhile, another friend of Miranda, Karolina, is married to a senator who has presidential aspirations and is stepmom to Harry.  When Karolina is arrested for a DUI with Harry and his friends in the car, she flees to her home in Greenwich.  Then all the fun begins as these three women navigate their lives in the suburbs, where everyone is wearing the latest Lululemons and has perfect lives with a little help from the plastic surgeons.  

These are great friends - the kind that is not afraid to tell you the truth, who will hold your hand and pass you the wine to support you, and just help each other out.  What a fun read - absolutely loved it!

This book was a lot of fun and a great quick read. It was great getting to see things from Emily's perspective, who was such a great character in "The Devil Wears Prada." This books was very funny and very enjoyable.

A sassy and blunt image consultant, Emily Charlton helps an ex-model's image after a suspicious DUI charge in the world of well to do suburban living. Language was a bit crude to me at times, but is a hallmark of Weisberger writing.

Chick lit book at it's very best! This book is full of fun characters and a storyline that keeps you reading. Love the quick witty friendship that forms between the three main characters and the personalities that shine through each one. It moves quickly and the plot makes it hard to put down. PERFECT summer beach read. Loved this one!

Good book. Love the title. It’s been a while since I’ve read The Devil Wears Prada so I don’t remember the Emily character. All the characters in this book are likable. Makes me want to go read other books by this author.

When Life Gives You Lululemons is a book in The Devil Wears Prada Series.  This book is enjoyable as a stand alone book for anyone wondering if they have to read the first two books before reading this one. When Life Gives You Lululemons follows the story of three different women- Emily, Miriam, and Karolina. Emily is dealing with losing some of her biggest clients to a younger image consultant. Miriam is adjusting to life as a stay at home mom in a luxurious suburb after working as a high power attorney. Karolina is facing a drunk driving scandal that puts her family life in jeopardy. 

This book had a good amount of heart mixed with some lighthearted moments that kept the story entertaining and engaging during the characters' journeys to rediscover themselves throughout the story. This would be a good book for anyone who enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada, but also a wide variety of readers because the characters were so diverse that most people will find familiarity reflected in one of the diverse main characters. This book would be a great addition to your summer reading list! 

I received an advanced reader copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review of the book.

I have read the first two books in this series a very long time ago.  I have also seen the movie.  I can't remember my feelings about the books but I enjoyed the movie.  When I saw that this was the third book in the series, I just had to get back into that world.  

I have to admit that I had a hard time with this book.  Emily as a feature character, annoyed me to no end.  She was a whiny bitch who had no regard for anyone until the end of the book.  The other two women, Karolina and Miriam were almost as obnoxious to me.  The main story line of Karolina's major issue was decent but I don't know if it was worth reading 352 pages of it.  God, that sounds so harsh but I honestly believe there are many books that are currently out there right now or will soon be released that will be a much better read.  

I am not knocking this book entirely,  I enjoyed some parts for what they were worth, just not the book as a whole.  I wouldn't have made this the 3rd book in the Devil Wears Prada series.  It is clearly a spin-off.

This book was a fun read with good character development.  Not necessary to have read the other two “Devil Wears Prada” books to understand the characters.   I found myself liking these people, wanting to know more.  I hope there’s a 4th book in the works, picking up where this left off....or a couple of months after!

Such a fun book! This book follows the lives of three friends - Karolina, a former model and wife of a U.S. Senator who has presidential aspirations, Miriam, a Harvard Law School graduate who recently gave up her career to be a stay-at-home mom in Greenwich, and Emily, an image consultant (who was the assistant to Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada). In this book, Weisberger explores the lives of the New York suburb stay-at-home moms and what they do for entertainment, exercise, and beauty. We also get to see Emily's life as an image consultant to A-listers. This book should definitely be added to your beach/pool reads this summer!

This book grabbed (and held) my attention immediately. The characters are familiar, and even Miranda Priestly makes an appearance! The story alternates between each of the three main characters. While I normally need to pause to think where I'm at with each introduction of a new character perspective, this book doesn't need that. Even if you're not familiar with these characters, this book reads well as a standalone. All I can say about the ending(s) - JUST DESSERTS. Highly recommend.

The perfect beach read! Tuck this one into your beach bag! 

When Life Gives You Lululemons centers around Karolina, the former supermodel turned senator’s wife, who’s accused of a DUI and lands in a PR nightmare. She takes solace in Greenwich, Connecticut, with her friend Miram, a former high-powered lawyer turned stay-at-home mom, who also happens to be friends with Emily. Since her years with Miranda at Runway, Emily’s become a “fixer” to the stars, making their indiscretions disappear from the media. But, with the advent of social media, Emily’s having a hard time keeping her business afloat. 

The three woman become close friends, as Weisburger gives us a terrific send-up of mommy culture in the 1%. The novel focuses on how these women reconcile modern motherhood with their career aspirations and marriage as well as the deepening friendship between the three leads. I liked all three characters but I’d love to see a sequel to find out more about Karolina especially as she was my favorite character by far. 

Like everyone else, I loved The Devil Wears Prada and was excited to catch up with Emily. In TDWP, she was the senior assistant to Miranda Priestly, memorably played by Emily Blunt in the film. I’ve heard that Emily was less likable in the sequel (Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns) but I missed that. Emily has a few unlikeable moments (such as when she gives a 5 year old a diet soda and lectures her on being slim) but overall, it’s a fun, frothy romp. 

This novel is the perfect beach read, meant to be enjoyed with your toes in the sand and a frothy beverage in your hand. It’s a lot of fun with several laugh out loud moments. I really enjoyed it and think you will too! 

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
