Everyone Worth Knowing

Everyone Worth Knowing
By Lauren Weisberger
Simon & Schuster, 2005. 367 pgs. Fiction.

Bettina has just quit her hideously boring job at a big New York bank, her best friend has just announced her engagement , and her Uncle Will is pushing her to improve her social life and wardrobe. In the midst of these changes and pressures, Bette takes a job with a hot new PR company where she starts attending and planning events and parties at the pinnacle of New York’s elite social scene. But, life in the fast lane comes with complications and heartache, just as you would expect in this entertaining piece of chic-lit.

I listened to Recorded Books’ presentation of this novel as read by Stina Nielsen. Her reading is enjoyable and perfectly portrays the hair-brained chaotic nature of the story and its heroine. I enjoyed the story and the characters, though I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending. If they hadn’t actually said “This is the end. Thank you for listening.” I honestly would have gone looking for a 13th CD.
