From the Back Cover:
Meet Emmy, Leigh, and Adriana. Best friends since college, each has seen her share of career foils and romantic foibles over the past decade. Now, as they approach thirty, they’re looking toward their future...and they’re not quite sure they like what they see.
When they are each alone on Valentine’s Day, the trio makes a pact. Within one year, each woman will change the thing that most challenges her. For Emmy, it will be to find romance—or a fling—in every foreign country she visits. For Leigh, a book editor with a dream boyfriend and dream apartment, no change seems necessary—until she starts to notice a brilliant and brooding man named Jesse. And for commitment-phobic, drop-dead-gorgeous Adriana, her goal is to have an engagement ring and a house in Scarsdale. Each woman starts the year with the best of intentions—which is exactly why the pact goes immediately, and exceptionally, awry.
Filled with delicious insider details, Chasing Harry Winston whisks readers into the heart of an elite world, and showcases Weisberger’s best storytelling efforts to date.

What I Thought:Ok, so I picked up this book obviously because of The Devil Wears Prada, which was a witty, fun read.
This book was ok, nothing special really. Three friends and how they deal with their exceptionally rich & fabulous lives! I found Emmy's side of the pact to be pretty strange and nonsensical actually. I mean who does that in real life. I understood Leigh's predicament, that does happen to people. And about Adriana, well I havent really met anyone like her in real life, so reading about her was a nice change.
Overall, I would not read it again, and am happy I did not gt a hard copy of the book!! And about this being Weisberger's best storytelling efforts to date, that IMHO is jsut a whole load of bull!! She covered the best in The Devil Wears Prada. Do not miss that one!
