Chasing Harry Winston
Book: Chasing Harry Winston
Author: Lauren Weisberger
Money, boys, shopping and seduction – what better way to start your term? The three main characters Emmy, Leigh and Adriana are fed up with their New York lives. Their rejection of their perfect jobs, their beauty and their sexy boyfriends might create resentment from any York student trying to scrape by on a loan.
However, they are portrayed with enough humour to make up for it. The tried and tested chick-lit structure of friends who crave change, make a pact and then proceed to explore the consequences works well. Weisberger has given up the autobiographical, whiney stance of her other two novels and instead takes the stance of observing her friends from a distance and “shamelessly stealing” their stories. Everyone ends up predictably, but satisfyingly happy, despite adversity.
Though each character could easily have been picked out of a cosmopolitan magazine tell-all, Weisberger depicts them with cynicism and makes their faults seem lightheartedly laughable rather than annoying.
This is a true page-turner that is extremely hard to put down. It is an enjoyable, funny, and sexy read, and is strongly recommended, if you have a spare moment.
