Ok so it wasn't amazing, and it's not the sort of book which you'd be recommending to all your friends but it was readable. i liked the characters and the plot wasn't too bad, it just wasn't unputdownable and mindblowingly gripping. I think Lauren will curse herself for writing the devil wears prada first, as i think these books would have been much better received without the amazing devil wears prada to compare them too.

When I started reading this book, I wasn't sure I was going to like it.
It started out very similar to "The Devil Wears Prada".
After quiting her job, Bette is looking for something new (well, looking might be a bit of an overstatement here).
Her ucle gets het a job as a party planner, and just like in Weisberger's previous novel, the people she works with are shocked to find out that Bette's never heard of fashion names and asseccories like a Birkin Bag.
After reading that bit, I was afraid the entire book was going to be The Devil Wears Prada in a different, very fashionable, coat, but I was surprised to find out that asside from these similarities, there was more to it.

Chick lit fans probably know all the anticipated plots; they may have seen them all and read them all. But, they definitely haven't heard them all until they give a listen to Lily Rabe's delicious reading of Chasing Harry Winston by The Devil Wears Prada author Lauren Weisberger.
A seasoned stage, televison and film actress Rabe gives added verve to this story of three glam New Yorkers approaching thirty and none too happy about it. Accomplished actress that she is Rabe easily shifts from voicing Emmy to Leigh to Adriana. Each of our heroines has distinctly different personalities, which are revealed by this actress's subtle switches in modulation and tone.
