Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel

Three best friends living in New York are approaching thirty. And they're all questioning their life choices so far.

So what will they do to totally change their lives?

Emmy, Leigh and Adriana all vow to reverse their current patterns and change everything...before they turn thirty.

Adriana, who has, up until now, used her wiles to capture men---men of all types---to enjoy for the moment, vows to find that one perfect man to commit to for life. Emmy has been with only three men in her life---a serial monogamist, she vows to embark on a year of "serial affairs". Leigh is with the "perfect" man, has the perfect job and apartment, and suffers anxiety attacks. She isn't sure what she wants to do about any of this...she maintains a stand-back-and-see approach.

What happens throughout this year of total metamorphosis will translate into the slightly unexpected.

Charming, interesting, but predictable...Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel, a tale of three New York singles trying to change their lives is not compelling. It is merely mildly amusing. But it is intriguing enough for a beach read or for that time when you need a break from the deeply enthralling books.

No where near the quality of Devil Wears Prada. It is an ok Summer beach read but there is no real meat to this book.

After reading the author's previous books, my expectations were admittedly high. Sadly, although this book provides a generic dose of chick lit, it lacks all of the wit and sparkle of Weisberger's previous novels. Towards the end, I actually found myself skipping through the chapters, because it was painfully obvious where each character was going....and the journey was not particularly unique or entertaining.

If possible, get this one for free at the library. There are better ways to spend your money.

A well-written novel with excellent dialogue and crisp storytelling. Fans of Weisberger will not be disappointed. It's funny and moving at time; enough heart to make for an emotionally satisfying read.

I found Chasing Harry Winston a much more entertaining read than The Devil Wears Prada. Even though I've recently said goodbye to my thirties and am happily married, these single gals' escapades were fun to follow. It is a standard chick lit tale with a Sex in the City feel. It's easy to read so borrowing it from a friend or the libary is a good suggestion.
