Everyone Worth Knowing
5 journalers for this copy...
Reminds me of the Devil Wears Prada. It was a decent story but not great
Synopsis
What happens when a girl on the fringe enters the realm of New York's chic, party-hopping elite?
Soon after Bette Robinson quits her horrendous Manhattan banking job like the impulsive girl she's never been, the novelty of walking her four-pound dog around the unglamorous Murray Hill neighborhood wears as thin as the "What are you going to do with your life?" phone calls from her parents. Then Bette meets Kelly, head of Manhattan's hottest PR firm, and suddenly she has a brand-new job where the primary requirement is to see and be seen inside the VIP rooms of the city's most exclusive nightclubs. But when Bette begins appearing in a vicious new gossip column, she realizes that the line between her personal life and her professional life is...invisible.

I enjoyed this a lot - kind of fast-paced story, and the kind of thing I need to hear once in awhile, even if it does have a little too much of the name-dropping, pretentious behavior of people in another world.
Will put this into the next bookbox I get.....

Towards the end of this book, the main character realizes she just spent a lot of time with a bunch of people she really doesn't like. I know just how she feels. Maybe it was Eliza Dushku's tone, or maybe it was Lauren Weisberger's writing, or maybe I'm just too old for the New York club scene--for me, this book was just so-so. Your mileage may vary.
