Lauren Weisberger Books in Order (Updated March 5, 2026)

Lauren Weisberger’s bibliography is small, tidy, and mostly standalone, with one famous exception.

The Devil Wears Prada novels share a continuity thread (and a certain kind of professional trauma), so they’re the only place where reading order truly affects spoilers and character arcs.

The “don’t overthink it” selector

• You want the iconic fashion-world book: start with The Devil Wears Prada (2003).
• You want the Prada sequels: read Prada #1 → #2 → #3 in order (list below).
• You want a standalone about NYC careers and social scenes: start with Everyone Worth Knowing (2005).
• You want sports + fame pressure: start with The Singles Game (2016).
• You want modern suburb/media-image tension: start with Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty (2021).

The Devil Wears Prada continuity (read in order)

1. The Devil Wears Prada (2003): A young assistant is swallowed by a high-fashion magazine job where impossible demands become a daily system, and survival starts looking like self-betrayal.
2. Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns (2013): Years later, careers and friendships have “grown up,” but the old power dynamics return in a new form, forcing a reckoning with who paid what price back then.
3. When Life Gives You Lululemons (2018) (also published in some markets as The Wives): Emily takes center stage in a status-soaked suburb, where crisis management and motherhood politics collide and the comeback is never simple.

Best entry point: The Devil Wears Prada always works first.
Best sequel approach: if you only want one follow-up, go straight to When Life Gives You Lululemons after book 1, but book 2 fills in key relationship shifts.

Standalone novels (publication order)

These do not connect to each other in plot. Read by year if you like “watch the author evolve,” or jump by premise.

1. Everyone Worth Knowing (2005): A New York twenty-something stumbles into the PR world and learns that attention is a currency, especially when your personal life becomes part of the pitch.
2. Chasing Harry Winston (2008): Three friends make a pact to pursue love (or at least a new life) and discover that “fresh start” goals get complicated once reality answers back.
3. Last Night at Chateau Marmont (2010): A marriage is stress-tested by sudden fame, where the music-industry glow hides jealousy, temptation, and the quiet loneliness of being left behind.
4. The Singles Game (2016): A tennis phenom’s career explodes under a new coach, and the story plays out in the bright, ruthless space where performance and publicity merge.
5. Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty (2021) (also published in the UK as One Little Lie): Two sisters with very different “perfect lives” face the fallout of a single lie, and the glossy surface of success cracks fast once the story becomes public.

Optional: anthology appearance

• American Girls About Town (2004) (anthology): A multi-author short-fiction collection; treat Weisberger’s contribution as a bonus, not part of any reading sequence.

Quick FAQ

Is “The Wives” a different book from When Life Gives You Lululemons?

In some markets, The Wives is used as an alternate title for When Life Gives You Lululemons. The core story is the same continuity entry (Prada #3).

Do I have to read Revenge Wears Prada before Lululemons?

If you care about how Andy/Emily’s careers and friendships changed after the first book, yes, book 2 smooths the jump. If you only care about the vibe and you’re fine with a time-skip, you can read book 1 then book 3, but expect references to what happened in between.

Are any of the non-Prada novels connected?

No. They’re separate casts and separate plots.
