About This Book
Lauren Weisberger, whose bestselling debut The Devil Wears Prada outed
the vicious antics of the magazine industry elite, is back at it with
Everyone Worth Knowing, another cautionary tale of sex, power, and fame.
This time around, the PR industry is her target, and Prada fans will
recognize similar themes throughout this entertaining, if at times
overly dramatic, expose.
Bette Robinson is a twentysomething Emory graduate who shunned her
parents' hippie ideals in favor of a high-paying yet excruciatingly
boring job at a prestigious investment bank. One day, after a
particularly condescending exchange with her boss (who sends her daily
inspirational e-mails), Bette walks out on her job in a huff. After a
few weeks of sleeping late, watching Dr. Phil and entertaining her dog
Millington, Bette's uncle scores her a job at an up-and-coming public
relations firm, where her entire job seems to revolve around staying out
late partying and providing fodder for clandestine gossip columns. What
follows is one episode after another of Bette climbing up the social
ladder at the expense of her friends, family, and the one guy who
actually seems worth pursuing.
Weisberger is clever enough to turn seemingly outrageous circumstances
into amusing anecdotes, like the tale of a woman who was close to
suicide until she found out she was only 18 months away from scoring a
highly coveted Birkin bag ("You simply cannot kill yourself when you're
that close ... it's just not an option."). This wit, combined a hint of
voyeurism that most of us can't deny, is what makes Everyone Worth
Knowing a guilty pleasure that's well worth the indulgence. --Gisele
