Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger


The author of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, Lauren Weisberger, did it again! Set up in New York, Robina “Bette” Robinson is reaching a point in her life where boredom and stress are constantly haunting her. After five years of working for a financial institution, she just had it. Out of the blue, she called it quits! An act that I myself, and most probably a million others would gladly do if only we were brave enough to handle the consequences. Without any sort of backup plan, she gloriously thrusts herself into the realm of the beautiful and unemployed, enjoying each passing day with nothing really special to do except to take her dog, Millington, out for a walk, exchange stories with her best friend Penelope, read Harlequin novels, spend time with her Uncle Will and his partner Simon and explore the city by herself. Although she enjoyed being a bum, she needs to come to her senses soon, primarily because her savings are dwindling, FAST!


In an unexpected turn of events however, she is suddenly thrown into the dizzying world of PR, in all its scandals, mysteries and seemingly never ending cash flow. Seems perfect for a 25 year old New Yorker chick, right? After all, she is paid to party all night and get to know all the right people. Find out how Bette handles her new and exciting life and get inebriated by its plots, twists and turns. You surely would want to be in Bette’s shoes. Or would you? Get your copy now!

The book is a god read. It’s not as fast-paced as her first novel but once you read 1/8 of the book, it starts to get exciting and you couldn’t wait to finish it. This book is preferably for those who just want to unwind and relax. Nice to bring in out-of-town trips, hospitals (while waiting for your doctor) and even in MRTs on the way to work and back home. Have fun!
