Publisher Description
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...but despite all the success and luxuries they’ve attained—they’re not quite sure they like what they see.
When they are each alone for one reason or another on Valentine’s Day, the trio makes a pact. Within one year, each woman will change the thing that most challenges her. For Emmy, whose boyfriend of five years just left her for a personal trainer, 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 first day of 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 listeners into the heart of an elite world, where friendships will be tested to the point of breaking, and showcases Weisberger’s best storytelling efforts to date.

"Very cute quick read. It's hard to find a book that I don't have to think too much about, but keeps me interested. Once I cracked this paperback, I couldn't put it down. The story of the three main characters may or may not be carbon copies of my best girlfriends."
— Jen (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“The pages practically turn themselves.”
— New York Daily News -
“Lily Rabe throws herself enthusiastically into her narration; she sounds like she’s having a ball, and listeners will, too. Rabe especially has fun with over-the-top Brazilian sexpot Adriana, making melodramatic pronouncements and calling everyone ‘querida’ in a sexy, throaty exotic accent. She’s also great as Emmy, the marriage-and-family–obsessed member of the trio: Rabe’s sobbing, outraged delivery of Emmy’s rant about her boyfriend dumping her for his personal trainer is simultaneously touching and hilarious. Leigh is the “straight man” of the group, but Rabe’s performance conveys her doubts about her engagement realistically and sympathetically. This fun audio brings out the best in the novel.”

" I picked this up at the airport yesterday and really enjoyed it. Definete Chic Lit but a fast easy read. Perfect for traveling when you don't want something intense and you can put it down and pick it up without losing the story line. Fun read!!! "
— Mary, 2/19/2014 -
" the ending was so happy, it actually made me feel good for a whole day! "
— Sanjana, 2/18/2014 -

— Niki, 2/11/2014 -
" Pretty good chick lit. Adriana was a fun character. "
— Beth, 2/4/2014 -
" This was my least favorite Lauren Weisberger book. It just seemed as if she had used the same characters and the book was kind of boring. "
— Amanda, 2/3/2014 -
" Light and frothy, this aspirational novel celebrates change for change's sake. I enjoyed it as a glimpse into a different kind of life - and was grateful to settle back into my own at the end! "
— Leanne, 1/30/2014 -

— Janis, 1/25/2014 -
" I didn't LOVE this book. I felt like it was "just OK". I couldn't really relate to the characters and never found them sympathetic. Not a bad book but not one I'd recommend. "
— Sandi, 1/23/2014 -
" Entertaining but really corny. Disappointing. "
— Jill, 1/22/2014 -

— Kathy, 1/15/2014 -
" I decent piece of traditional chicklit. A good mind break from my traditional non-fiction stuff. "
— Lorraine, 1/15/2014 -
" this was not my favorite book. it felt under developed and choppy. I wanted to care for the characters but just couldn't "
— Stephanie, 1/9/2014 -

— Ashley, 1/6/2014 -
" Fun read (or rather, listen). I really liked the characters and their story lines. "
— Jen, 1/4/2014 -

— Jimmie, 12/21/2013 -
" Vapid, self-indulgent and terrible! I would ne'er want to meet these girls...ever. Don't waste your time. "
— Meredith, 12/15/2013 -
" One star for each main character. It had a very promising start, but an ending left wanting. An enjoyable read when you have absolutely nothing else to do. "
— Jeiflyn, 12/9/2013 -
" If you are expecting anything that is remotely close to The Devil Wears Prada, then I am sorry to disappoint you! There were funny moments in the story. I particularly liked Adriana as I was able to relate to her for some degree ... but the book could have been better! "
— Jo, 12/8/2013 -
" Great characters. Good Story Line. Very ENjoyable. "
— Lauren, 12/7/2013 -

" Fun but empty - good light book for summer "
— Sue, 11/16/2013 -
" Chick lit at almost its finest. Good characters, anticlimactic plot. Entertaining, however. "
— Kara, 10/15/2013 -
" skip it - the book is trying to be sex and the city and it's not. Go watch Sex and the City and enjoy that instead. "
— Juanita, 8/23/2013 -
" Pretty typical but it had some moments. "
— Valarie, 8/23/2013 -
" Total waste of time!A completely pointless and bland version of Sex & the City!!! "
— Samra, 7/21/2013 -
" This easy chick read ended up taking me several weeks to get through... I mean, there were decent enough characters and storyline, but somehow I just couldn't get into it. "
— Tiera, 2/21/2013 -
" 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. "
— Kesha, 2/9/2013 -
" Not nearly as good as Devil Wears Prada. "
— Kimberli, 1/6/2013 -

— Yunisa, 11/2/2012 -
" Awful. I kept reading only because I had nothing else and the nearest bookstore was an hour away. "
— Caroline, 8/23/2012 -
" An enjoyable pleasure read by the author of The Devil Wears Prada. You can't help but fall in love with all three main characters and find you relate to one or all of them. "
— Karen, 8/19/2012 -
" This was not great, but it at least kept me entertained when I was unable to sleep... yes, generic, no "twists", and not very beleivable. I have read worse, and hope to read better. "
— Turtlegirl00, 7/25/2012 -
" Loved Devil Wears Prada, so I was excited to read another book by the author. Unfortunately this book was fairly predictable and I found myself not fully immersed in the story, easy to let the mind wander as I turned the pages. "
— Bcastle, 5/1/2012 -
" This easy chick read ended up taking me several weeks to get through... I mean, there were decent enough characters and storyline, but somehow I just couldn't get into it. "
— Tiera, 4/6/2012 -
" Ugh. I was super excited after her first two novels and bummed by this one. Not even worth a library check out. "
— Christine, 1/13/2012 -
" This book was dirty, and wasn't all that entertaining. My mom picked it up at the Library Book Fair for 25 cents. It was about worth that much! "
— Sartan, 12/30/2011 -
" Beaucoup moins bien que le diable s'habille en Prada... "

" Such a fun read. I have passed it around to all my gfs "
— Joanna, 7/4/2011 -
" A little slow to start, but now I'm really getting into it. The characters have been well developed, and the plot follows each character individually. Not as good as "The Devil Wears Prada", but worth reading. "
— Brenda, 6/14/2011 -
" Eh, it was okay. Nothing special. "
— Gabrielle, 6/9/2011 -
" I almost stopped reading this book because I could not get into it at all... It was boring and had no excitement. The end did get a little better, but all in all I was just glad to be done. "
— Cami, 5/31/2011 -
" I thought the book was a great chick lit story but it ended a little too abruptly. It was almost like the author got tired of writing it and just wrapped it up. "
— Amy, 5/29/2011 -
" A fun read..perfect beach book! I have also enjoyed her other books "
— della, 5/29/2011 -

" A fun and easy read! I look forward to more from this author. "
— Laura, 5/24/2011 -

— Amanda, 5/23/2011 -
" Read if you enjoy cliches, stereotypes and lazy writing. Awful. The kind of tripe that gives chick-lit a bad name. "

" This was a fun, light read. Great for a beach read or vacation reading. You don't have to think too much and the topics are not difficult in the storylines. Characters are kind of stereotypical and slightly underdeveloped, but overall it was a fun read. "
— Donna, 4/15/2011 -
" Great! What Lauren says about relationships and especially men in this book is sooooo true! Great time reading this, and it made me laugh quite often too :) "
