(134 reviews)

Best Price: $9.49

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.

  • Hits and misses


    By AC9B29BXXWJHD on 2008-06-04
    Having read so many bad reviews, I was surprised by Chasing Harry Winston. It's actually much better than I expected it to be.

    After being dumped by her boyfriend of five years, baby-obsessed Emmy (a restaurateur) decides that she'll sleep with as many random men as possible. Tired of sleeping with many men in succession, ultra-glamorous, Brazilian Adriana decides to enter into a monogamous relationship and possibly get engaged. Leigh, a book editor, is tired of her life, despite a job she loves and a (seemingly) perfect boyfriend. One evening over dinner, two of the three decide to change their lives dramatically within the space of a year.

    In Chasing Harry Winston, Weisberger dumps the format she adopted for her first two novels. In some ways, this is good, and gives Weisberger the chance to branch out a bit. This is no outsider-looking-in tale told from a whiney first-person perspective. There's no hellish boss, no glamorous fashion or PR industry. The characters in this novel are surprisingly more unique than those in Weisberger's other two books; with the exception of the perfect boyfriend, I definitely found myself relating to Leigh a little bit. However, the author doesn't seem to be able to create anything new--it seems like this plot has been seen before, most notably in Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City.

    The characters, disturbingly, define themselves primarily by their relationships with men; their careers and the other parts of their personal lives repeatedly take backseats to boyfriends and fiancées. Adriana, despite her "tricks" for getting men to chase her, is really the one doing the chasing. It was tough, too, for me to believe the Leigh-Russell relationship. On the other hand, the predicament Leigh finds herself in is very understandable: you find yourself dating the "right" guy, so you feel bad about breaking up with him because you're scared. It's a dilemma I think many women can identify with.

    For having reached the age of thirty, these women are very immature and shallow, and overly concerned with having the stress-and-anxiety-free, "perfect" lives that no New York woman I know has. It was also difficult for me to see why these three are friends--they're all so different, but Weisberger never explains to her readers why they were drawn to each other in the first place.

    Somewhere in the plot, out of place, is a trip to the Caribbean, during which the girls find themselves in a dicey Curacao airport drinking suspect alcohol bought from a card table, and popping pills. It's pretty much the only funny part of the book. I get the feeling that this is something that really happened to Weisberger or someone she knows, and she felt she just had to put it in. But the scene just didn't belong in this novel.

    Although not as funny, clever, or well-written as The Devil Wears Prada, there was much more emotional depth in Chasing Harry Winston than in Everyone Worth Knowing. Keep in mind, though, that Weisberger is pretty much a one-note author.


  • Terrible!


    By A2NU97EN5VHC83 on 2008-06-24
    Do not waste your money, time, or effort on this piece of trash. I enjoyed Devil Wears Prada immensely and thought Everyone Worth Knowing was a decent effort as well. But this third novel by Lauren Weisberger had me groaning in agony. The characters are vapid and selfish, the story line thin to non-existent, and the writing is totally disjointed. There were points in the story where I thought I was missing pages in my books because, apparently, Weisberger and her editor forgot the meaning of the word "transition."

    I also take issue with the fact that the three main female characters, who are approaching thirty, seem to be more jealous and catty than they are happy and excited when something goes well for one of them. Of course we all feel pangs of jealousy from time to time, but these young women did not one iota of emotional substance keeping them together. Nor did they have any friends besides each other. I guess that makes sense -- Who else would want to spend time with them?! I certainly wouldn't.

    There is more I can say but most of it would be a repeat of what the other 1- and 2-star reviewers have already written. I am not even going to bother keeping this book around. I will donate it to a used book shop or the Salvation Army as soon as you can say "This book stinks!"


  • Why do I think it will get better?


    By A3PCMDQOUUNKQM on 2008-06-02
    That's it for me and Lauren Weisberger. The last book was awful and this one is too. I only liked her first novel. I could only get through about 60 pages of this, I really tried. The writing is all over the place (doesn't flow nice) and the characters are such carbon copies of other chick lit. I love chick lit and I think having characters like these can still work but for this book it just didn't. I'm glad I got it from the library.

  • vile


    By A3FG358LCK8NRH on 2008-06-04
    trust me, I wanted to like this book as much as the next person. I enjoyed Lauren's previous two books, and had high hopes for this one. However, I found the plot line of this weak, the story line totally unbelievable and the conclusion totally contrived. It almost seems like she phoned this one in, cashed her check and left us to pick up the pieces. Save your money; I wish i had.

  • FUN AND FUMBLES IN THE SEARCH FOR TRUE LOVE


    By A3M174IC0VXOS2 on 2008-06-04
    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!

  • Boring and empty
    By A2NMJ7M57VMKSC on 2008-06-18
    This is probably one of the worst books I've ever read. The plot, if you can call it that, went nowhere and the book just dragged on and on and on. I kept hoping it would get better but it never did. The characters were boring and so cliche. The story lacked any kind of depth or emotion and was just filled with superficial material. I've never written a review for a book, but it was so terrible I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

  • Prada Fans Beware!
    By A3H9RHXL6ZHFTV on 2008-06-02
    I almost gave up on this book, and it finally started getting interesting about 2/3 of the way through. I would definitely put this book in the "light reading-trash novel" category.

    I really enjoyed Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing, and I was very disappointed in this latest effort by Ms. Weisberger.

    As a designer label junkie, I expected the characters to have higher standards in regards to their grooming, attire, etc.

    There was no tie in to the book title until almost the end of the book.

    All in all, I would recommend that you wait until the book comes out in PB before spending your hard earned money on this one.

    Respectfully submitted, Linda H aka L A Jewel

  • Do not want.
    By A2ZY5QQ3O6S5OB on 2008-06-18
    In the end, the joke is on me. I have read all of Lauren Weisberger's books and haven't found one of them to be worth her advance (I don't even want to know...). The story of the Devil Wears Prada was interesting, but for God's sake, the writing was atrocious.

    I don't know why I bothered picking up the other two as they were just as horrible with an even crappier story. How this woman continues to write such vapid characters and has an editor who lets her get away with it is beyond me.

    I wish I hadn't wasted my time, or money, on Chasing Harry Winston as it's hands down the worst of her books. The writing, as another reviewer stated, doesn't flow at all. There were times that I was sure the pages had stuck together and I'd missed something as there was no logical way she'd gone from point A to point B. The characters were flat and I could barely muster any enthusiasm for their stories.

    In addition, there were times that I actually wondered if certain companies had paid for product placement in this book as the dropping of brands and websites seemed to not have any relevance to the (lack of) story.

    In the end, the book fell completely flat, like Weisberger whipped it out on the way to a much more important spa appointment. That's the last time I read one of her books for sure.

  • Unbelievably bad...
    By A1T17LMQABMBN5 on 2008-08-14
    Three beautiful, successful women and one little problem. None of them is married. And they've all got a reason that has kept that glorious Harry Winston diamond from reaching their ring fingers. Leigh is a successful book editor. She and her boyfriend Russell have not married because of commitment issues. In this case, she is the commitment phobic. She likes her space and to have sole possession of her TV remote, doesn't want anyone -- including her gorgeous, successful and sweet boyfriend -- to invade either one. When she gets the editing job that everyone is salivating after -- working on a successful and good -looking author's next novel -- she is forced to make some changes in her life. If only Emmy had Leigh's good fortune. She has just ended her third long-term relationship. She is almost thirty, her younger sister is having a baby, and she's nowhere near finding Mr. Right. How pathetic is she? When she makes a pact with her friends to become more outgoing and have some much needed sexual escapades, she may find pleasure in single life, or will she? Adriana is a drop-dead gorgeous Brazilian with an unlimited trust fund and endless trysts with hot guys. But is she happy with her status quo? She has no job, no sense of personal accomplishment, and while she's beautiful... well, good looks don't last forever. So it may be time to give up her conquests and find a great and rich guy to marry. Luck is smiling at her, for she's found a sexy director who is crazy about her. Are things the way they seem though?

    I read The Devil Wears Prada. I disliked the book, but loved the movie. Chasing Harry Winston is very run of the mill for my taste. I have read this kind of book again and again. Weisberger brings nothing new and unique to the chick lit genre. This is a book about three very one-dimensional New York women looking for some much-needed soul searching in the city. It's Sex and the City meets Lipstick Jungle, only less interesting. There is a lot of designer and celebrity name-dropping here, and the girls seem annoyingly perfect, especially Adriana, and for that reason I couldn't sympathize or relate to any of them. Some more character depth would have been nice. I like my slice of good ol' beach read as much as the next person, but this is beyond bad, and not in the good way. I'd say skip this and go for Emily Giffin or Beth Harbison instead. They bring something fresh to this otherwise overdone and cliché genre. Perhaps the film version of this, if one is made in the future, will be better, as was the case with The Devil Wears Prada.

  • Painful
    By A2H4T0WB3FA67U on 2008-06-01
    The book felt contrived and empty. The only authentic emotion involved is the pain of the reader when you realize that you actually paid money for it.

  • Smart Chick Lit
    By A8IY5A5MDXB0R on 2008-05-29
    I actually really enjoyed this book. I think of it as chick lit with a brain, and it kept me reading and laughing, which is all I really care about. I like this one is better than her second book because the characters are more complicated--and there's Otis. If you only read the book for Otis and his makeover....

  • Great summer read!
    By A2HCTOVPBDUPAR on 2008-05-28
    Chasing Harry Winston has everything a girl could ask for in a book. Break ups, sexy flings, globetrotting, pain-in-the-butt mothers--every woman will relate to, or wish she was one of the three main characters in this book. Despite their fabulous New York City careers and connections, these girls aren't perfect--Leigh is completely neurotic, Adriana is a total commitmentphone and Emmy is stuck in a crippling slump. They all need and rely on each other to get through the tough stuff. This is a refreshing story about great frienships, set in the greatest city in the world. It's fun, witty and perfect for the beach.


  • More like Chasing SEX & THE CITY!
    By A1SF55HOOP1T0Y on 2008-09-24
    Chasing Harry Winston was a total disappointment with lack of originality and storyline. The book tries to be Sex & the City in so many ways by having single New York women, love and friendships. Even though you hope the story will become interesting at some point it becomes clear that the story line is not original and same goes for the characters. The novel had potential and yet did not deliver.
    Just a heads up Weisberger if you are going to write about single women in New York, you have to write something more umm let's see ORIGINAL!

  • I liked it.
    By A2F677MI1DNARH on 2008-06-02
    I think people are being a little harsh in their reviews. This is light reading people. Geez. It was definitely enjoyable for me. I thought the characters were interesting and I liked seeing how they changed over the year in which the novel took place. Otis was definitely a riot to read about. This is much better than her last book. That one was painful but this is worth a read.

  • 40 YO male hated to love this book.
    By AC7F0U5FRO0P6 on 2008-06-07
    There I am stranded in O'Haire Airport looking for something to read, having loved the movie Devil Wears Prada I saw the cover and decided to give it a try. Sitting on the floor waiting for the plane I started reading and was hooked from the beginning.

    Let me say I have never read a single line of "Chick Lit" before. I found this book has a real perspective that I have not seen or heard before, The 30 year old woman worried about getting older and being alone. The characters are great and DAMN if I could just get a look at Adriana and see what she looks like. By the end of the book I wanted to google her.

    Sure you might be able to smell some plot points coming, but the payoff is in the heart of the plot point and the detailed world Mrs (or is it Miss) Weisberger creates in the head of these characters. As a male reader I found myself going "Oh so that's what they are thinking." You chicks are complicated and although it's doesn't un-complicate women it might make a male understand what rattles around in their heads.

    The phrase "Chick Lit" to me represented a bubble gum style book, what I mean by that is that once done with the book the flavor is gone with no substance. That is not true of this book. There are heart felt relationships, women who actually like "sex" and a search for your true self.

    There is an incredible scene towards the end of the book where Leigh, naked, Looks at herself in the mirror after a life changing event and doesn't regret it only to have that regret seep in to both the reader and Leigh's heart.

    The only fair comparison to Sex and the City is that there is a small group of women that are friends in New York. SatC covered the search for meaningful relationships. CHW starts out the same way, but subtly shifts to the search for ones self. There is more to this book than meets the eye. It's not only about learning to love other people, It's about making hard choices to eventually love yourself.

    Guys might even find what goes on in women's head illuminating and the Parrot might be the greatest scene stealer!

  • Not impressed
    By ABQG2D7QCQ4CB on 2008-06-23
    I kept reading in hopes of a big drama filled moment, but it never happened. The book is a flub. I found myself saying "thats it?" when I finally finished it. She missed on this one. I've read the devil wears prada and everyone worth knowing and both were page turners in my opinion. Better luck next time, Lauren.

  • Crappy writing, poor character development
    By AGTNWNSZM2VU3 on 2008-07-14
    Needless to say, I picked this up because I loved her book, The Devil Wears Prada." This novel in comparison is CRAP. The whole way through I kept hoping I would begin to like or relate to to care about her characters, but they always fell flat. The writing is blurry at best and cluttered with cliches. I wish I had spent my money on a better book.



  • Disappointing
    By A1OZEUQWAQ1JM5 on 2008-07-15
    I was very disappointed with this book. My review will probably echo what a lot other reviewers have said, but here it is anyway -

    I found this book to be incredibly shallow and severely lacking in plot. In fact, I just finished it last night and already I can barely remember the main plot points. I did laugh in a few spots and very occasionally found that I was able to identify with a particular character or situation.

    One of my biggest peeves about this book was Emmy's resolution. I literally cringed every time I read the phrase "Tour de Whore" and references to Emmy wanting to "prostitute myself out." Am I the only one who was bothered by this? If you want to write a book about a women's journey to sexual freedom or whatever, then great, I'm all for it. But does she have to refer to herself as a prostitute and whore throughout it? Also, it was clear throughout her "affairs" that she was not comfortable with what she was doing. Apparently it's not okay for a woman to want to know someone on a deeper level before sleeping with them...

    Another big problem that I had with this book was the fact that the characters were entirely unoriginal. Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, anyone?

    I also felt like there was a serious lack of organization and flow. There were also characters who appeared to be important and then pretty much disappeared (the hairdresser, Emmy's sister and her family,) situations that never got resolved or explained. The narrative was often confusing and jumped from present to flashback to internal monologue and back again with little to no transition.

    The ending was ridiculous and boring at the same time. I also don't really understand the title, it really doesn't fit the story. As soon as I finished reading this book, I wondered, "WHAT was the point of that?" As I said earlier, I finished it less than 12 hours ago and I've already forgotten what it was supposed to be about. Don't waste your money on this one - if you must, get it from the library.

  • Does Lauren have anything to offer readers?
    By A130YN8T37O833 on 2008-05-28
    Does Lauren have anything to offer readers?

    That is the question everyone should asked since her 2nd book was released. 2 be honest the Devil Wears Prada wasn't all that as the critics made it out to be. The only great thing was the title. It was clever & caught everyone's attention. If i was a person who never heard of the book & saw that book with that title as i passed by a book store & it was in the window display i would immediately run in & see what that book was all about. The title was catchy, i'll admit it. Anyways the book was ok, nothing great. I believe Andrea deserved everything negative that happened to her. All she did was whine & complain and nobody likes a complainer. When reading the book it made me realize how the character didn't even want to be there. How do you succeed in life if you can't even take the job you got hired to do, the job you applied for? (This all refers to The Devil Wears Prada)

    Anyways her 2nd book was trashed as it got a 2 star rating. I like the reviews on here because they are from the reader and not a paid critic. Now i was intrigued by her 3rd book because the title once again is catchy.

    I just finished reading the book and again i was sadly disappointed. Yes the author has made her way into pop culture mainstream because of the success of the DWP, but after a disappointing 1st & 2nd book i really thought that the 3rd time would be a charm. Its an ok read but nothing ground breaking. If you want some fun insightful chick literature check out the Sophioe Kinsella books. Again Lauren has tricked me and cashed in on my silly love of books and delivered a less then stellar product.

  • Sex and the City meets Prada
    By A1HJBSC585PCXC on 2008-06-03
    I read this on a girls' weekend with my college friends, and it couldn't have been a more perfect pick for the occasion! It combines everything I love about Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada. Weisberger brilliantly portrays the friendships between Leigh, Emmy, and Adriana, and develops the pact they make to help each other change their lives with excellent skill. I'm sending each of my friends a copy!

  • Good book with a kind of fizzle ending...
    By A1V9VE4WF5HIPA on 2008-06-09
    I enjoyed reading this book SO much...I identified with different elements of each girl, and had quite a few laugh out loud moments. The only problem for me was the ending, which didn't really give enough insight into what happened when they finally ironed out some of their relationship issues. I hope that means there is a sequel coming??

    Overall, it was a very enjoyable light read :)

  • Just awful
    By A246RNOSR76X3T on 2008-07-09
    This book is a waste of time. The characters are all unlikeable and for women on the verge of thirty they all seem to be more teenagers on the verge of 13. Adriana is particularly childish in her reactions to her mother - screaming at her mother in one part of the book. The conclusion of the book says that they are all women now. I beg to differ. I slogged through this book but it was really terrible.

  • Chasing Dullness
    By A3Q023SHAGNVTX on 2008-07-23
    This novel really nowhere. There was little plot, and the characters were one-dimensional. Insipid drivel.

  • Yeesh
    By A21V90TT3ETP1R on 2008-07-25
    Gave up on book 210 pages in...nothing happens. Yikes. Just a lot of whining by girls with very little reason to whine. Good God. I was down on Everyone Worth Knowing as it seemed derivative but it was WAY better than this. And while the title may have been explained later, didn't make much sense. At all. Just have nothing good to say about it. Set pieces are dropped halfway through and a lot of the things this book treats as absolute truths (most notably Adriana's advice about men) may work on some men, but definitely not on others. Just not very good - it's got as much weight as reality TV and moves at a slower pace.

  • Three Friends Make a Pact...
    By A3OL1AX1IODBYL on 2008-09-13
    Three best friends living in New York are approaching thirty. And they're all questioning their life choices so far.

    So what will they do to totally change their lives?

    Emmy, Leigh and Adriana all vow to reverse their current patterns and change everything...before they turn thirty.

    Adriana, who has, up until now, used her wiles to capture men---men of all types---to enjoy for the moment, vows to find that one perfect man to commit to for life. Emmy has been with only three men in her life---a serial monogamist, she vows to embark on a year of "serial affairs". Leigh is with the "perfect" man, has the perfect job and apartment, and suffers anxiety attacks. She isn't sure what she wants to do about any of this...she maintains a stand-back-and-see approach.

    What happens throughout this year of total metamorphosis will translate into the slightly unexpected.

    Charming, interesting, but predictable...Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel, a tale of three New York singles trying to change their lives is not compelling. It is merely mildly amusing. But it is intriguing enough for a beach read or for that time when you need a break from the deeply enthralling books.






  • Not good, not bad...
    By A3666I6AIGJKI1 on 2008-06-03
    After loving the author's first book, The Devil Wears Prada, and being really disappointed by her second, Everyone Worth Knowing, I was hoping Chasing Harry Winston would be more like the first and less like the second. There were parts of this one that I really liked and parts that I thought were ridiculous. The writing was at times clever and entertaining, but at other times unrealistic and contrived. There was way too much awkward and gratuitious name dropping of celebrities and other books, and the characters all seemed really shallow and underdeveloped. Overall it seems like the author spent a lot of time writing certain parts but not so much on others. Definitely not worth $25.95 for a hardcover of less than 300 pages, but at 40+% off at Costco, not necessarily a waste. I'd recommend it as a quick, light beach read, but if you're looking for really good chick lit, try Emily Giffin's latest - Love The One You're With or Sherri Rifkin's LoveHampton.

  • A Rushed Effort!
    By A1QCLV7XNT9AJF on 2008-07-21
    I was really excited to pick up this novel after Weisberger's great success with "The Devil Wears Prada." Unfortunately, it was very disappointing on many levels.

    The three main characters, Leah, Emmy and Adriana, are supposed to be best friends, but their friendship is contrived and hardly realistic. It is easy to get confused between Leah and Emmy because the way they talk and their personalities are exactly the same. Brazilian Adriana, on the other hand, is an extreme stereotype and seems a very unlikely friend for Leah and Emmy.

    The dialogue between the main characters and their love interests also reveals a lack of consistency. It seemed like Weisberger was trying to make her characters seem overly witty. Some of the exchanges made me cringe.

    Although it is an easy summer read, it is annoying to read about three young and successful characters who moan and complain because they're going to be 30 and their life is over without a man and a ring on their finger. We need stronger female role models.

    This novel seemed like a rushed effort. To top it off, there are several typos.

  • Glad I did not buy it . . .
    By A32W51K2S06ZRF on 2008-08-08
    I gave up about 50 pages into the book. I started skipping through and just read the ending. Trashy. A 2008 looking for Mr. Goodbar. If you want to read it, get it from the library.

  • I admire those who could finish this book
    By AIKESJEH38RQP on 2008-08-25
    After 106 pages of dribble, I finally had to put this book down. I've never read a Lauren Weisberger book, and I don't think I will ever ready anything else by this author. This book is boring, unimaginative and totally pointless, and I usually enjoy a good "chick lit" book.

    The story follows the adventures of the pursuit of sex in love from three self obsessed, one dimensional, annoying characters.
    Each characters vows to change there lives in the course of a year:

    Adriana - Beautiful and shallow Brazilian who loves sex and likes to say "querida" alot - vows to be married by the end of the book

    Emmy - Pathetic in that she likes to be in relationships with men that use her - vows to have one night stands with a man from every continent, except Antarctica

    Leigh - Slightly OCD and a full on beoch, she doesn't know how to appreciate a man who truly loves her - vows to... well, I'm not really sure what she vows, but I was hoping it would be to stop complaining and waving her hand around every other paragragh(did anyone else notice this? The author always had her swirling, twirling or waving her hand, esp. when they all went on vacation together. I was like seriously, stop waving your hand!").

    I would have finished this book if the characters went a little deeper, but the above pretty much sums up the main characters throughout the first half of the book. Maybe they redeemed themselves in the end, but I couldn't bring myself to read another 172 pages to find out. If you think "The Hills" is modern day Shakespeare, then you will probably love this book. If you find the above cliche, this book should be avoided at all cost, if just for the waving of the hands in every freaking paragraph alone!

  • So cliche, not even in a so bad its good way

    I hated this book, the 3 women are something out of a bad lifetime movie. I did read the Devil WP which I liked but that was probably due to the fact that it was the authors life experiences. There are much better books out there with women being written as 3 dimentional characters not this one though. Seriously skip it!
