Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A 27-year-old New York banker quits her job and finds work at a posh PR agency, trading her navy pantsuits for low-slung jeans and skimpy tops so she can hang out with the beautiful people at "in" places like Bungalow 8 (though first she has to find out what Bungalow 8 is). Weisberger's bestselling The Devil Wears Prada hinged on a similar fish-out-of-water scenario, and while it may have worked then, this time around it feels like a rehash. Bette Robinson begins as a likable enough character, but it isn't long before Weisberger's caricature of her becomes frustrating: Bette is surprisingly successful at her new job, even as she's constantly complaining about "the ridiculousness of what we were doing"—i.e., orchestrating Manhattan social events in such a way that the agency's clients look good in gossip columns. Bette's personal life gets equally ridiculous treatment, as she enters into a "just for looks" and very public relationship with a British heartthrob who's really gay, as her friends and family (and the guy she really likes) look on in horror. The book occasionally entertains—as when it makes jabs at the very critics who panned DWP—but not nearly often enough.

From Booklist

Weisberger, the infamous former Vogue employee and best-selling author of The Devil Wears Prada (2003), returns to the chick-lit arena with her latest novel. Here, Weisberger introduces Bette Robinson, a twentysomething Manhattan investment banker who is tiring of the 80-hour weeks required to maintain her career. Impulsively, Bette quits her job and then languishes for a few months with no real interests or ideas (or apparently worries about income). By chance, she meets the head of Manhattan's hottest PR firm and quickly snags a flashy job as a manager for celebrity and socialite parties and events. Bette easily adjusts to this lifestyle and soon finds that she is palling around with celebs, dating a rascally playboy, and garnering mentions in various gossip columns. Not surprisingly, she'll have to come back down to earth to realize that she nearly blew it with the one decent guy in her life. Packed with celebrity mentions and insider takes on exclusive Manhattan nightspots, this novel will captivate Weisberger's fans, who are sure to enjoy the dishy, if expansive, details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Aug 27 2007

By	TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews

Coming from the author of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, you know this book has to be amazing--and it didn't fail to live up to my expectations! Ms. Weisberger's writing is so funny and light-hearted that you just have to love this book!

Bette Robinson is a boring twenty-something who has no social life, and has a job working at a bank that she hates.

Until she quits.

She has no plan, has no idea what her next move will be, and she knows that her parents will be disappointed in her (again). She takes a month off and gets her real life back and starts having fun again. Then she finally decides that she needs to get another job, and her uncle gets her a super-sweet position at a public relations firm.

Her job - literally - is to party! She begins going out every night (just to work). She even gets to go on a first-class trip! But then her personal life gets mixed up with her work, and she starts becoming unhappy with her crazy new job.

What will she do? Read the book to find out!

2.0 out of 5 stars Predictable, Aug 2 2007

By	Sandy C (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

As so many people have mentioned, I also found this book to be predictable with no real plot. I found that Lauren Weisberger tried to follow the same formula as her other book ('The Devil Wears Prada')with a few minor details hear and there. Except that this time the book was very one dimensional with no where to go. Also I found that she practically had no REAL information on Turkey or the climate of Istanbul during the winter months. During New Years Istanbul is very cold so there is no way that you can "Sunbathe" (as she mentions in chapter 24 page 280) It is sad that she can actually write such nonesense and actually get published.

3.0 out of 5 stars Something Worth Reading (If you don't have anything else to read.)., July 31 2007

By	maya j (Quail Crossing) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

While The Devil Wears Prada was cutting edge, fresh and scandalous, Everyone Worth Knowing was tried, true and predictable. Here's the premise: Young New Yorker, fabulously beautiful, but doesn't know it; Super talented, but bad job; Great connections to other fabulous people, but doesn't seem to care; Men who like her, but really don't act like it. It seems to have been just a reworked version of 'Devil' or, incredibly, this book really reminded me of Something Borrowed (which was a fantastic book). Regardless of this predictability, 'Everyone Worth Knowing' was okay to read because we like stuff like this. It's fun, it's easy to read, and it requires no cognitive thinking skills. It's just that if you're looking for something new and different- it wasn't there. I had a really hard time envisioning the main character, Bette, and I don't think it was because she wasn't described well. What we read was that she was smart, beautiful and talented, but that these traits were unnoticed, unrevealed and undiscovered. As much as Lauren Weisberger tried to bring those things out of her- her visage just didn't manifest itself to me. 'Everyone Worth Knowing' is an okay book that would be an easy, quick read on a plane trip, because if you got distracted, it wouldn't be hard to just jump back in and keep reading- it does not require a lot of thought to process this book. Recommended if you don't have anything else to read.
