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.

Great summer read! May 28, 2008 Mary 6 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.
Great chick book! Something every women can relate too! August 6, 2008 1st timer (los angeles, ca usa) I am not much of a reader but i bought this book because i was driving with my husband from texas to california and i needed some entertainment. I finished this book in 2 days and i could not bring myself to tear myself away. This book also includes some amazing sex scenes. Lauren Weinberger is an amazing author! I can't wait for her next book.
Chasing Harry Winston dazzles! September 21, 2008 Debra Barron 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.
You will love this book if you love chick lit! October 26, 2008 S. Williams (Ithaca, NY) If you love chick lit and have loved all of Lauren Weisberger's books, you will definitely love this book! Although many people didn't rate this book that high, I thought it was great. You can't read it expecting something profound, however it is certainly entertaining!
Good Book! November 1, 2008 L. Crater (Hershey, PA) I'm not sure I agree with many of the other 1,2, & 3 star reviews, but it might have something to do with this being my first novel read written by Lauren Weisberger. No, I only saw the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada" - never read the book. So, I had nothing to compare "Chasing Harry Winston" to as far as her previous efforts. However, since I thoroughly enjoy mostly 'chick lit', I have to admit that I found this book completely enjoyable and addicting. I just couldn't put it down! Great read if you like 'chick lit' and enjoy reading about sex, women, juicy gossip, and secrets, then this is the book for you. It might not be Award-winning, but it is a very interesting and entertaining read.
