Here’s a fun fact: the first job I ever had was working for a sports management firm in the tennis division. Every summer from 10th grade until I graduated from college, I helped a team of amazing people put on these massive sporting events. I mostly worked in the men’s tennis division, but spent a little bit of time in the women’s tennis department. I met a lot of players, coaches, and entourages (Including Oates of Hall & Oates. John Oates is a tennis groupie. I […]
I Regret Reading This Author Back to Back
Having enjoyed Last Night at Chateau marmont and finding The Singles Game, ok, if a little meh, I decided to read another Weisberger book.

Not Quite The Devil You Know
After the depressing, albeit fabulous, Inside the Obrien’s I opted for something light and fluffy next. Revenge Wears Prada is the sequel to Weisberger’s The Devil Wears Prada which was one of my most favorite books in high school; I’ve seen the movie a hundred times and was intrigued at what was probably an unnecessary sequel. It is ten years after the events in Devil, Andy Sachs is on the verge of marry a media mogul heir as well as running a successful bridal magazine […]
