Something Worth Reading (If you don't have anything else to read.).

While The Devil Wears Prada was cutting edge, fresh and scandalous, Everyone Worth Knowing was tried, true and predictable. Here's the premise: Young New Yorker, fabulously beautiful, but doesn't know it; Super talented, but bad job; Great connections to other fabulous people, but doesn't seem to care; Men who like her, but really don't act like it. It seems to have been just a reworked version of 'Devil' or, incredibly, this book really reminded me of Something Borrowed (which was a fantastic book). Regardless of this predictability, 'Everyone Worth Knowing' was okay to read because we like stuff like this. It's fun, it's easy to read, and it requires no cognitive thinking skills. It's just that if you're looking for something new and different- it wasn't there. I had a really hard time envisioning the main character, Bette, and I don't think it was because she wasn't described well. What we read was that she was smart, beautiful and talented, but that these traits were unnoticed, unrevealed and undiscovered. As much as Lauren Weisberger tried to bring those things out of her- her visage just didn't manifest itself to me. 'Everyone Worth Knowing' is an okay book that would be an easy, quick read on a plane trip, because if you got distracted, it wouldn't be hard to just jump back in and keep reading- it does not require a lot of thought to process this book. Recommended if you don't have anything else to read.

This book is good for getting out of reality for awhile

I am not much of a reader. I must say I enjoyed the book. It is good for people in their 20s and single. I am not single, but I enjoyed it. It made me feel like I had experienced it with Bette. I live in a not so exciting place and it made me enjoy reading so much that I started a book club with some people at work!

What You'd Expect From Weisberger

Lauren Weisberger made the NYT Bestseller's list with a book everyone had to read because Weisberger had worked in the fashion industry and the book was marketed as a thinly veiled autobiography of her time as Anna Wintour's assistant. That said, it wasn't a very well written book.

However, what the Devil Wears Prada lacked in terms of seasoned writing, it made up for with interesting and unpredictable (sometimes) twists and turns. At least in The Devil Wears Prada you understood why Andrea didn't/couldn't leave her job, why she chose to suffer through it. The same can not be said for Bette's character in Everyone Worth Knowing.

While it certainly was a fun read, it was also incredibly predictable. The characters lacked depth, and they made decisions so bad you had to wonder "who would every do something like that?" That said, it was an entertaining look at Manhattan's party scene, and there were a couple of well-written characters, particularly Abby (who was SO easy to hate) and Sammy.
