Additional Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel Information

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.

What Customers Say About Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel:

Just say no to this disappointing follow-up to Devil. Ridiculously boring, silly, and lacking depth.

It's excellent story telling with relatable characters. Lighten up and enjoy the ride. I really enjoyed both "Devil Wears Prada" and "Chasing Harry Winston." Chasing Harry Winston is a great book and a fun read. This is not supposed to be a serious, mind-altering book. It's great fun. I tend to lean towards classics or mystery books, but this was a light-hearted, engaging story that at times was funny, heart-warming and human. I honestly can't wait for the movie.

I never did get invested heavily in the girls and the one character who intrigued me (Jesse) was barely fleshed out. It's not that the story line wasn't intriguing but did we have to be reminded in every chapter that the three main characters were going through their 30 year old crisis. The city of New York naturally is a character all its own and I enjoyed the descriptions and placement of the storylines in and around the city.Wait until you can buy it used. For her third book, I felt Lauren Weisberger slipped back in her literary talent a bit. I couldn't put the first two down but I kept getting distracted on this one.

I felt compelled to write a review, even though once I was on this site, I see there are many others. I hated this book, and was sorry I bought it. I actually wanted something bad to happen to her. The character Adriana is particularly irritating.

I am single, in my 30s and live in Manhattan. I still wanted to add mine to the mix.Dont buy, borrow or read this book. I was in an airport and needed to pass the time and I ended up buying this and regretted it. I could not find one redeeming quality for any of these characters.

I think the author was trying to emulate a Sex and the City type of character and ended up creating someone who you could care less about. You will regret the wasted hours. They are shallow, selfish and not worth caring about. I ended up skimming after reading halfway through it.

It read like it could be a movie starring the current Hollywood it-girls. Sure the women are shallow and the storyline is predictable, but this isn't supposed to be award winning writing, is it. Get it from the library. I guess this is what is going for chick-lit these days, and if so, well, I enjoyed the story. There certainly is no depth to the story; just your average story of three 20-somethings who make a pact to change the course of their lives.
