Product Description

Synopsis
THE HOTLY AWAITED NOVEL FROM THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, SET TO BE THE MUST-HAVE SPRING ACCESSORY FOR 2008.

From the Back Cover
Three best friends. Two resolutions. One year to pull it off.

Emmy is newly single. Having always dreamed of wedding plans, she is now buying take-out for one.

Adriana is about to turn thirty. Are her days as a party girl running out?

Leigh has a gorgeous boyfriend and a great job. So why isn't she more excited about her perfect life?

The three best friends make a pact over raspberry mojitos one night - this year everything is going to change. Emmy is going to find a man on every continent for some no-strings fun. Adriana vows she'll secure a five-carat Harry Winston diamond ring on her fourth finger. And Leigh can't think of what she needs to change - until literary bad boy Jesse Chapman starts to get under her skin. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars FUN AND FUMBLES IN THE SEARCH FOR TRUE LOVE, 4 Jun 2008

By	Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Chasing Harry Winston (Audio CD)

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.

Despite dissimilarities in character this trio of women have remained steadfast friends since college days. But now as the inevitable 30 looms each decides it is time for a dramatic change and is determined to see it through.

Amiable and amenable Emmy is the culinary artist of the group. She'd make a perfect wife and mom but despite these obvious qualifications she has been dropped by Duncan whom she envisioned meeting at the altar. So, Emmy decides since faithfulness hadn't gotten her anywhere she'd play the field - a large field and have sex with a number of men until she finds the perfect one.

Leigh is the bookish type, a book editor who likes what she does and loves the man of her dreams, sportscaster Russell. However, when Leigh is assigned to edit the latest by the very attractive young married Jesse Chapman she finds that more than punctuation is involved.

Adriana is the predictable bombshell, daughter of wealthy Brazilian parents. She's been more than out and about, and thinks that perhaps the perfect man for her is a famous movie director. Well as they say you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince.

With a Sex and the City backdrop Chasing Harry Winston offers a series of fun and fumbles in the search for true love - enjoy!

- Gail Cooke

1.0 out of 5 stars dismal, 20 May 2008

By	cowpatch (uk) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chasing Harry Winston (Paperback)

I liked the Devil Wears Prada enough to think this might be entertaining escapist chick-lit. But either that book was readable because it was based on the author's real life experiences- or else it was overseen by a much better editor than this one. A pointless, tortuous plot, cardboard chick-lit characters and absolutely no sense of who these women are and what motivates them, conspire to turn this book into a grim trudge though endless cliches. I didn't care about any of them, because they were simply a bunch of chicklit-by-numbers idiots. The author evidently didn't care much either, as the 'resolution' to the feeble 'pact' which gives the book its minimal narrative drive is so limp it was barely worth writing, let alone reading. Really, save yourself. Don't bother.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, 10 Jul 2008

By	Elizabeth Davis "Liz" (Kent, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chasing Harry Winston (Paperback)

Really enjoyed the Devil Wears Prada and bought this for a long journey. Felt it was trying to be like Sex and the City but I did not like these women and could not care what happened to them. Just an excuse for dropping a lot of brand names and showing off a wealthy lifestyle. Can an intelligent woman really have a noisy upstairs neighbour and not try to resolve the problem in some way? I only finished it because I had nothing else available to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars not sex in the city no matter how hard it tried...
I've never read the devil wears prada but I found this one disappointing. The characters were too close to sex in the city and weren't developped enough, nor were the romances.
