I.The deliciously witty and delightfully dishy novel about life at a glamorous fashion magazine is now a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, set to open in theaters on June 30. II.The Devil Wears Prada The Devil Wears Prada is a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger about a young woman who, fresh from college, gets a job working as a personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor that turns increasingly hellish as she struggles to keep up with her boss's capricious and demeaning requests.

Reconnecting with your mate is the goal of this uneven guide by Cloud and Townsend, the authors of the million-selling Boundaries series on relationships。 Here, they offer a comprehensive look at virtually every way a marriage can disconnect。 They also provide tested and successful solutions to these problems as they address issues such as unreasonable expectations, personality differences and problems with communication, trust, sex and conflict resolution。 Their advice ranges from the obvious—“Don’t criticize or put down your mate”—to seasoned counsel stemming from a deep understanding of how marriages really work(such as when they conclude that couples “must go through reality to get to love”)。 The book is refreshingly honest in its push to get couples to examine themselves closely and pinpoint problems, as well as create appropriate solutions。 Its comprehensiveness, however, is also its weakness。 Skimming the surface of the huge topic of marriage makes for limi
