Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada, a compulsively readable novel about a woman whose struggling singer-songwriter husband is catapulted to fame, dragging them both onto the pages of celebrity gossip magazines—and changing their marriage forever.
Brooke loved reading the dishy celebrity gossip rag Last Night. That is, until her marriage became a weekly headline...
For five years, she’s worked two jobs to support her husband’s dream of making it in the music world. Finally, after countless gigs at Manhattan dive bars and toiling as an A&R intern, the soulful, enigmatic Julian Alter gets signed by Sony, where he logs long hours in the recording studio with no promise of success. But when he is invited to perform on a national late-night talk show, he is catapulted to stardom—literally overnight.
At first the newfound fame is fun—who wouldn’t want to stay at the Chateau Marmont or love being treated like rock royalty? But as Brooke’s sweet husband becomes increasingly absent and tabloid rumors swirl, Brooke begins to question the truth about their marriage and is forced to finally come to terms with what she thinks she wants—and what she actually needs.

"I always like Lauren Weisberger's books and this one was no different. It was an easy, quick read. I will say it was a little predictable since it follows her usual format of career versus relationship, but it works so I can see why she sticks with it."
— Jamie (4 out of 5 stars)

— Entertainment Weekly -
“Weisberger has insightful takes about the price of success in our celebrity-obsessed culture”
— Publishers Weekly -

Last Night at Chateau Marmont Listener Reviews

" Easy read and highly enjoyable. "
— Gogo, 1/28/2014 -
" Fast reading chick indulgence "
— Charlotte, 1/27/2014 -
" I LOVED THIS BOOK! Such an easy read, I couldn't put it down and knocked it out in about a week. "
— Michelle, 1/25/2014 -
" Entertaining guilty pleasure read. I am sure it is just the pregnancy hormones, but I admit I cried a bit. "
— Angela, 1/25/2014 -
" This was a pretty good "just for fun" book. The ending was, of course, a happy one. I've read all of Weisberger's novels since Devil Wears Prada but she hasn't quite lived up to it yet. I'll probably continue to read her novels in the hopes that she does some day. "
— Aimee, 1/19/2014 -
" It was a funny, easy read book. I finished it in a day without reading straight though it and it gave me the break I wanted from the more serious things that I've been reading lately. The ending was sweet although a little bit corny as well but despite that I felt pleased for all the characters involved. "
— Gabrielle, 1/17/2014 -
" This is my favorite book by this author. I loved the characters and it was hard to put this one down. It was a good story with a likeable main female character that you hope would have a happy ending. "
— Cindy, 1/14/2014 -
" Generic girly book. Good for a bit of escapism. "
— Emma, 12/18/2013 -
" Only redeeming factor to this book is that the main character owns a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. "
— Chrissie, 9/11/2013 -
" I liked this book - damn cheating husbands! "
— Jerri, 7/23/2013 -
" All of her books have the same theme, which is understandable. Someone gets rich or famous and the other person (spouse or partner) has to figure out how to deal with it, if that's what they are actually going to do. Good read overall. "
— Ashley, 6/9/2013 -
" An interesting look at what fame is really like for "civilians". Frothy and fun, not Weisberger's best, but still entertaining. "
— Rebecca, 4/23/2013 -
" I loved this book. The story is good, the characters are interesting, and I appreciate how the story keeps moving. Its a good trashy beach read. "
— Allison, 4/14/2013 -
" Could not finish. I could barely start it. "
— Jessica, 4/7/2013 -
" This book was pretty good. A lot better than Chasing Harry Winston. "
— Mary, 3/9/2013 -
" Not loving it, but getting through it because I enjoy how the author writes. Loved Devil Wears Prada and had higher expectation from Chateau. Unfortunately, i'm slightly disappointed with this book. "
— Carole, 12/6/2012 -
" Written by the author of The Devil Wears Prada. The trials and tribulations of being married to a superstar. "
— Susan, 12/5/2012 -
" just a lame beach read "
— Melissa, 6/23/2012 -
" It was a very entertaining book for summer vacation. Nothing special, but I liked it. "
— Rich, 4/27/2012 -
" It was ok, read it on holiday and was easy enough to read. Passed it onto a friend so it cant have been that bad but just didnt gel with the characters like I have with other books. Ok if you like chick lit. "
— Jennifer, 2/21/2012 -
" This is what you expect it to be. I like the author and will continue to read all of her books. "
— Tami, 12/5/2011 -
" Definitely better than the last couple books he's written. Still no Devil Wears Prada. "
— Laura, 11/19/2011 -
" This was a fun summer read. "
— Lee, 8/25/2011 -
" It was a cute book about love and fame and getting through it together. One of my favorites from Lauren Weisberger. I also loved the part about Friday Night Lights! "
— Rachel, 7/7/2011 -
" marginally engrossing chick lit that wasn't overly insulting to my intelligence. (although i'm guessing the cultural references will be thoroughly outdated in about 5 more minutes.) shockingly little LA-based stuff for a book with chateau marmont in the title. "
— Abby, 5/17/2011 -
" ... very chick-fliek like ... and a bit of a predictable ending ... "
— Cara, 5/13/2011 -
" If the author had done some research on jobs in the dietetic field she would know that jobs and places that offer the services described at the end of the book already exist. "
— Stacey, 5/8/2011 -
" Good read with lots of current event references throughout. "
— Angela, 5/3/2011 -
" I had to give up on this one not that good "
— Harmony, 5/1/2011 -
" Not her best - if you want to start reading her books, read Devil Wears Prada. That being said, it's not a bad book, it's still good for light reading. "
— Sara, 4/28/2011 -
" ..it really gives an insight to the lives of the infamous i feel...a beautiful book to read while on a holiday! "
— Ria, 4/19/2011 -
" From time to time, I just want to curl up with a book and be a girl. Lauren Weisberger is always great choice to fulfill that need. "
— Christy, 4/17/2011 -
" Een leuk ontspannend boek om te lezen. "
— Willemien, 4/11/2011
