Product Description
The bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing returns with the story of three best friends who vow to change their entire lives...and change them fast.

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.

4 out of 5 stars Girls on the town!   July 25, 2008
Adriana is about to turn thirty and even though she is the daughter of a gorgeous Brazilian supermodel, she worries that maybe her looks might not keep in the lifestyle she is used to. Her mother reminds it is not only looks but her feminine wiles that will help her find the right man. Adriana has no problem finding the right man, the right man for that night. And her parents are getting less and less amiable about her living rent free in their New York penthouse and spending their money.

Her best friend Leigh is paired with the perfect man, Russell. Not only is he the host of a top ESPN show, he is understanding, remembers anniversaries, and wants to marry her. Both their families are thrilled. Leigh is hoping the stress of her editor's job at a big publishing house and the additional stress of taking Jesse Chapman, past Pulitzer Prize winner is the reason behind her reluctance to commit to wedding plans.

Best friend Emmy would love to have Leigh's "problems". After bring unceremoniously dumped by live in boyfriend, Duncan, she is awash with misery. After all, what is so bad about wanting to get married and start a family? Why does every man she mentions it to suddenly remember a previous commitment and high tail it out of there? She passed on a job scouting out restaurants for Chef Massey, the hottest thing in the food universe for Duncan. And now, all she has is a horrid parrot, Otis as a roommate.



The Emmy and Adraina realize their lives aren't going as planned, and decide a complete shakeup is needed. Each makes a commitment to try a lifestyle that propels her in a different direction than the path they're currently on. Leigh makes no such promise; her friends don't even know how conflicted she is about the wedding. They should be worried about losing all they have access to the right parties, great clothes, careers.....they want to be happy and maybe this is their chance.
Laauren Weisberger is back with another hard to put down book about fabulous singletons. Not quite as good as Devil Wears Prada but a fun read.

This novel really nowhere. There was little plot, and the characters were one-dimensional. Insipid drivel.


2 out of 5 stars Short on storyline   July 22, 2008
The story of 3 friends with different love life issues is a familiar one, but in this particular book, there seems not to be ENOUGH of a story - I skim read the last third of the book, hoping to find a story!!

With characters that I didn't like or care for and a plodding to non-existent storyline, this made for a book that is easy to put down, and forget to pick up again. But in saying this, I didn't feel it was as bad as some of the reviews said - just not what I had hoped for from this author.



2 out of 5 stars Lame!   July 22, 2008
I was really disappointed in this book. I was looking for a fun summer chick-lit read, and this book didn't live up to my expectations.

Even though some plot-skipping was necessary with three characters' stories to tell, it just skipped around too much. The author spent pages on describing lost luggage during a trip to the Caribbean, yet ended the chapter abruptly when one of the characters met a guy. I wondered if my book was missing some pages!!

Don't waste your money...I doubt there will be a huge queue at your local library if you really want to waste your time.
