Product Description:
The bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing returns with the story of three best friends who vow to change their entire lives...and change them fast.
Emmy is newly single, and not by choice. She was this close to the ring and the baby she's wanted her whole life when her boyfriend left her for his twenty-three-year-old personal trainer -- whose fees are paid by Emmy. With her plans for the perfect white wedding in the trash, Emmy is now ordering takeout for one. Her friends insist an around-the-world sex-fueled adventure will solve all her problems -- could they be right?
Leigh, a young star in the publishing business, is within striking distance of landing her dream job as senior editor and marrying her dream guy. And to top it all off, she has just purchased her dream apartment. Only when Leigh begins to edit the enfant terrible of the literary world, the brilliant and brooding Jesse Chapman, does she start to notice some cracks in her perfect life...
Adriana is the drop-dead-gorgeous daughter of a famous supermodel. She possesses the kind of feminine wiles made only in Brazil, and she never hesitates to use them. But she's about to turn thirty and -- as her mother keeps reminding her -- she won't have her pick of the men forever. Everyone knows beauty is ephemeral and there's always someone younger and prettier right around the corner. Suddenly she's wondering...does Mother know best?
These three very different girls have been best friends for a decade in the greatest city on earth. As they near thirty, they're looking toward their future...but despite all they've earned -- first-class travel, career promotions, invites to all the right parties, and luxuries small and large -- they're not quite sure they like what they see...
One Saturday night at the Waverly Inn, Adriana and Emmy make a pact: within a single year, each will drastically change her life. Leigh watches from the sidelines, not making any promises, but she'll soon discover she has the most to lose. Their friendship is forever, but everything else is on the table. Three best friends. Two resolutions. One year to pull it off.

Rating:  - Chasing Harry Winston Book by Lauren Weisberger
After reading The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger, I was excited to see this new book out and immediately purchased it.A disappointment, I do not believe I even finished the whole thing.Her other books have been much much better......not recommended. waste of money or get it from a library if you must read it!
Rating:  - very disconnected
I was really excited when I picked up this book. As I read I kept wanting to give it a chance, but was always disappointed. The characters start shallow, and they end just the same. I don't see any real development throughout.
Rating:  - Fun travel book
This book saved me during a 9 hour bus trip.It was a totally fun, light read, that was very Sex and the City.I found myself thinking about he characters days after I was finished with the book - I grew attached!The book is well researched and very current.I did think that the beginning was slow and the trip to Bonaire could have been a lot funnier.Some parts were even repetitive (Adriana's beauty).However, there were many pleasant twists and surprises and I loved the development with ...

Rating: - A Passably Fun and Utterly Forgettable Piece of Fluff (2.5 Stars)
Leigh, Adriana, and Emmy are three long-time friends and NYC residents rapidly approaching their thirtieth birthdays. Trouble is, none these ladies are particularly happy about this looming milestone. Leigh is a seemingly successful, type-A editor whose "perfect life" is actually anything but. She's in a relationship with charming, handsome sportscaster Russell, whose love seems suffocating and almost depressing to her, and her new client, eclectic author Jesse Chapman, proves to be a challenging ...
