The bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing is back with a delicious new novel about a trio of best girlfriends in Manhattan which makes a dramatic pact to change each woman's life in one year.
Ladies - I find these other reviews to be ridiculous. This is a great read for what it is - easy to read, not your life but quite a good tale of someone else's. The girls are fun, their lives are realistic, and overall the story is engrossing and certainly worth a read if you expect chick lit and nothing more. Is this some literary work of art? Hardly. But it's much more gratifying and interesting than reading People or US Weekly and good entertaining fun for the beach, treadmill or sleepless night. The writing is good, the characters transport you to their world and it's a page turner. As a recently-wed urban gal in her late 20's, I quite enjoyed it and recommend it!

I thought this novel was fantastic! I don't typically like books that jump from character to character, but I thought this one was funny and engaging. It was definitely an escapist novel, and I read it quickly because it was hard to put down. I didn't like Devil Wears Prada at all, so this was a welcome treat.
This book was adorable!!

I can't believe all the bad reviews as well...this was a great read, I liked it even better than Devil Wears Prada. I think all the negative reviews are unjust, it was a cute, funny book, and I didn't think it was boring at all. I wouldn't have read/bought this book based on all the bad reviews but my friend (thanks JB!) gave it to me and recommended it. I'm glad she did!
Chasing Harry Winston dazzles!

This was absolutely the best end of summer read! It was light, fun and amusing, not to mention easy to read -- I read it in one day! I've given this title five stars because it did what Ms. Weisberger intended -- it entertained and I felt as if I got what I paid for.
Great summer read!

Chasing Harry Winston has everything a girl could ask for in a book. Break ups, sexy flings, globetrotting, pain-in-the-butt mothers--every woman will relate to, or wish she was one of the three main characters in this book. Despite their fabulous New York City careers and connections, these girls aren't perfect--Leigh is completely neurotic, Adriana is a total commitmentphone and Emmy is stuck in a crippling slump. They all need and rely on each other to get through the tough stuff. This is a refreshing story about great frienships, set in the greatest city in the world. It's fun, witty and perfect for the beach.
