This book is quite farcical in terms of the range of events as a result of an art heist. Charlotte becomes an active participant despite her innocence in simply attending a fashion event and as a result coupled by the embarrassing picture of her in a raincoat falling out of a helicopter, loses both her position as a fashion editor as well as her reputation. Enter Jack whom is an expert in art in order to track the painting down and Rashid, the prince that despite his immense wealth enjoys the chase. Of course, Charlotte accompanies him to horse races and high stakes gambling before all art and more is found in a castle. Quite absurd. The best part is when she chose herself.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op for providing this book, with my honest review below.

I enjoyed this adventurous semi heist book by Anna Newallo! Charlotte, a fashion editor, gets caught up in some hijinks when she gets set up in an art theft. Her world quickly dissolves but as she works to clear her name we meet some very fun characters, including Jack, an art professor who is intent on trying to find out where the painting is (under the assumption Charlotte knows).

This is definitely a light hearted read and will keep you engrossed as you try to puzzle through who actually stole the painting and how Charlotte will navigate her situation. We get to know Charlotte and Jack just past surface level and other characters more superficially, but this is very much an event driven plot versus character driven, so this works just fine. And for what it’s worth, what we do get to know of all characters not only hits the right balance but is funny and/or enlightening. There’s a running joke between Charlotte and Jack that they’re in a similar situation as It Happened One Night, and I’d agree this is a mix of some older classics (and they are classics for a reason, always good for a rewatch even 75 + years later).

Pick up the Devil wears Orange and enjoy the ride!

This book was amazing! It is a great devil wears Prada retelling. The romance was so good! And I loved the writing and the storyline so much!

I am so excited for this fun twist on the a Devil Wears Prada with this high stakes caper. I absolutely loved this one and am so eager to share my full thoughts and review which I am working on as we speak. I apologize I fell a bit behind due to an expected recent family emergency, but I love the characters, scenery, and storyline. It was fast paced and kept me hooked until the end. Highly recommend!
