Publisher Description
The bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing is back with a delicious novel about a trio of best friends in Manhattan who agree to change their lives in the most personal and dramatic way possible—and to do it within one calendar year.
Meet Emmy, Leigh, and Adriana. Best friends since college, each has seen her share of career foils and romantic foibles over the past decade. Now, as they approach thirty, they’re looking toward their future...and they’re not quite sure they like what they see.
When they are each alone on Valentine’s Day, the trio makes a pact. Within one year, each woman will change the thing that most challenges her. For Emmy, it will be to find romance—or a fling—in every foreign country she visits. For Leigh, a book editor with a dream boyfriend and dream apartment, no change seems necessary—until she starts to notice a brilliant and brooding man named Jesse. And for commitment-phobic, drop-dead-gorgeous Adriana, her goal is to have an engagement ring and a house in Scarsdale. Each woman starts the year with the best of intentions—which is exactly why the pact goes immediately, and exceptionally, awry.
Filled with delicious insider details, Chasing Harry Winston whisks readers into the heart of an elite world and unforgettable characters. Let the games begin!

"Good, quick, read. Teaching women to do what they want and what is best for them. Only thing I didn't like was that everyone felt that sex was just like a handshake. Other than that, I loved the characters and the story."

Chasing Harry Winston Listener Reviews
-
" I wanted to see if I would like this book since reading The Devil Wears Prada but it too was disappointing. the main characters are not very likable and the situations they get into are way too contrived and wrap up way too neatly. "
— Shawn, 2/16/2014 -
" Meh. Kept waiting to like the characters I was reading about. While the girls did improve, I found them to be awfully self-centered. Just wasn't a very compelling read, even if it was supposed to be light-hearted and a fun vacation story. "
— Kari, 2/14/2014 -
" Good vacation read -- but the writing is cliche. I rolled my eyes for the first half of the book, but once I got going I was rooting for the juicy stuff to happen. It didn't let me down. "
— Kelly, 1/31/2014 -
" A great girly day at the beach read! "
— Christina, 1/29/2014 -
" Meh. Pretty boring start. Not a fave "
— Germine, 1/25/2014 -
" Not as good as the Devil Wears Prada, but a good read none-the-less. Good for anyone who cares about fashion, money, power, and love. "
— Justin, 1/23/2014 -
" No idea why this has received such terrible reviews, I thought it was entertaining! "
— Marissa, 1/20/2014 -

" I enjoyed this book only because it was my beach read. It was cute but nothing spectacular. "
— Ginny, 1/8/2014 -
" Silly, shallow, selfish smut. I kept reading sure that at some point this book and these characters would develop some redeeming quality but it never happened. "
— Stacey, 12/31/2013 -
" So awful that I couldn't finish. A huge disappointment after The Devil Wears Prada. "
— Karen, 12/31/2013 -
" Page after page of crap with added amounts of stupidity. This book lowered my iQ. "
— Becky, 12/20/2013 -
" Personally I was let down by the simple story line and 'girl chasing dream of finding the perfect man'. Ugh, enough already. I enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada but this one is enough for me to STOP reading her books. "
— Amy, 12/16/2013 -
" I want another book with these characters,,please:) "
— Stacy, 12/16/2013 -

— Ana, 11/15/2013 -
" Not as good as her first two, but this satisfied my need for reading something not on the YA list. Ended just as I thought it would with no surprises. Good, easy beach read. I wish the characters had been a bit more engaging (maybe stick to one in-depth rather than three superficially). "
— Amber, 9/23/2013 -
" Waiting for something interesting to happen. "

— Erin, 10/12/2011 -
" I don't know why I continue to buy books by this author - I never like them very much. This book was no exception. The storyline was incredibly predictable, the characters annoying and the writing was poor. "
