New Releases by Lauren Weisberger

Brooke en Julian hebben het prima samen in New York. Zij heeft twee banen, waarvan ze kunnen rondkomen en hij timmert aan de weg als muzikant. Maar als Julian na een tv-optreden door een groot platenlabel wordt benaderd neemt hun leven een radicale wending. Al snel bevinden ze zich in een compleet nieuwe wereld: dinertjes in de duurste restaurants, te gast bij de meest exclusieve feesten, op en neer reizen naar de hipste clubs van LA en overnachtingen in het ultieme celebrity-hotel Chateau Marmont. Maar Julians roem leidt er ook toe dat zij slachtoffer worden van meedogenloze paparazzi. Is hun relatie sterk genoeg om alle bizarre roddels en bemoeienissen te overleven? Brooke wordt gedwongen om te kiezen: vluchten of vechten...

Als Bette een baan krijgt bij een superhip pr-bureau, maakt ze van de ene op de andere dag deel uit van de jetset van Manhattan. Maar al snel worden de eerste scheuren zichtbaar in dit idyllische plaatje: als speeltje van een notoire playboy verschijnt Bette in alle roddelbladen. En haar familie en vrienden zijn minder gelukkig als Bette, die zij zo goed dachten te kennen, op een kloon van Paris Hilton begint te lijken.

Andrea Sachs is net aangenomen als de nieuwe assistent van de alom gevreesde en bewonderde hoofdredacteur van het tijdschrift Runway, Miranda Priestley. Elke dag wordt Andrea zwaar op de proef gesteld als de commando s van Miranda door de telefoon klinken. Terwijl haar werkdagen steeds langer worden en de eisen steeds extremer, realiseert Andrea zich dat het baantje waar duizenden een moord voor zouden doen haar het leven flink onmogelijk maakt.

Een smeuïge, onthullende en vooral erg grappige roman, boordevol saillante details.

Op een avond in Soho House, een van de populairste en exclusiefste clubs in New York, sluiten drie vriendinnen, Emmy, Leigh en Adriana, een pact: ze zullen elk datgene gaan veranderen in hun leven wat hun het meest dwarszit. In haar derde roman is Lauren Weisberger beter op dreef dan ooit. Met Chanel chic schreef ze een verhaal met een ziel, dankzij de onvergetelijke vriendinnen. Drie vrouwen die alles lijken te hebben wat hun hartje begeert... De duivel draagt Prada verkochten we in totaal ruim 175.000, van Gossip & Gucci 100.000 exemplaren

Em Uma noite no Chateau Marmont, Lauren lança um divertido olhar sobre os bastidores do mundo da música. Afinal, emplacar um sucesso em gravadora não é para iniciantes. Especialmente em Nova York. Para conquistar espaço — o mínimo que seja — é preciso muitas vezes tocar a guitarra que o diabo afinou. Ou algo parecido. E é nesse universo, que Lauren cria um romance inteligente e engraçado que disseca as dificuldades de manter um relacionamento em dias de invasão de privacidade.

Brooke loved reading the dishy celebrity gossip rag, "Last Night"--until her marriage became a weekly headline. When rumors about Brooke and her newly minted rock-star husband swirl in the tabloids, she must question the truth of her marriage.

La insistente voz de Miranda Priestly persigue a Andrea hasta en sueños: «¿An-dre-aaa?, ¡An-dre-aaa!». ¿Es éste el trabajo con el que soñaba al salir de la universidad? ¿Es éste el trabajo por el cual tiene que estar agradecida y sentirse tan afortunada? Sí, es la nueva asistente personal de Miranda, la legendaria editora de la revista femenina más glamourosa de Nueva York. Ella dicta la moda en el mundo entero. Millones de lectoras siguen fielmente sus recomendaciones; sus empleados y colaboradores la consideran un genio; los grandes creadores la temen. Todos, sin excepción, la veneran. Todos, menos Andrea, que no se deja engañar por este escaparate de diseño y frivolidad.

Welcome to the dollhouse, baby When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She''s never heard of the world''s most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she''s going to be Miranda''s assistant, a job millions of girls would die for. A year later, she knows altogether too much: That it''s a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work. But that there''s always a fresh pair of Manolos for you in the accessories cupboard. That Miranda believes Hermes scarves are disposable, and you must keep a lifetime supply on hand at all times. That eight stone is fat. That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda''s coffee get cold. And that at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, when your boyfriend''s dumping you because you''re always at work, and your best friend''s just been arrested, if Miranda phones, you jump. Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster who makes Cruella de Vil look like a fluffy bunny. But also that this is her big break, and it''s going to be worth it in the end. Isn''t it?

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 unforgettable characters. Let the games begin!

Lauren Weisberger, autora do best seller mundial O diabo veste Prada, está de volta em Todo mundo que vale a pena conhecer, outra saborosa sátira sobre sexo, poder e fama. Enquanto o primeiro livro de Weisberger distribuía alfinetadas no mundinho das revistas de moda, o segundo mira no restrito universo das festas mais badaladas de Nova York. Quando Bette Robinson, de 27 anos, pede impulsivamente demissão do seu trabalho no banco UBS, ela sabe que não vai sentir nenhuma falta das 80 horas semanais de trabalho, de seu cubículo claustrofóbico ou do chefe irritante. Depois de algumas semanas passeando com seu cachorro, acordando tarde e assistindo à TV, um tio colunista social a apresenta à diretora da Kelly & Company, a agência de RP e Eventos mais badalada de Nova York. De uma hora para outra, Bette tem um emprego novinho em folha, cuja principal exigência é ver e ser vista. As novas responsabilidades dela passam a ser frequentar as boates mais descoladas de Nova York e organizar as festas mais concorridas, de preferência as que atraiam celebridades como o comediante Jerry Seinfeld, o rapper Jay-Z e o ator James Gandolfini. Bette então aprende a não piscar diante dos rostos famosos, dos cartões de crédito platinum, das garrafas do champanhe Cristal ou dos paparazzi. Logo ela começa a namorar um playboy de reputação duvidosa, o que é ótimo para sua carreira, porém péssimo para o restante de sua vida pessoal – porque acaba afastando o único cara decente que ela encontra. Ainda assim, como seus colegas de trabalho vivem dizendo, “como reclamar de um emprego em que você ganha para se divertir?”. Ela concorda, até o momento em que seu nome começa a aparecer em colunas de fofoca. É quando a vida de Bette toma um novo significado, e ela descobre que a linha entre sua vida particular e profissional é... invisível.

Un job qu''elle déteste, un patron méprisant, une vie sentimentale réduite à néant : Beth décide de reprendre son destin en main et démissionne sur un coup de tête. Après un repos bien mérité devant sa télé, elle accepte un boulot dans une boîte de communication. Son quotidien prend soudain une toute autre tournure : Beth troque ses pantoufles contre des escarpins et son farniente contre un agenda de ministre. Embarquée dans le tourbillon de la vie nocturne new-yorkaise, elle savoure les petits plaisirs de cette vie, jusqu''à ce qu''elle découvre que la presse people s''intéresse de près à elle...

A small-town girl fresh out of an Ivy League college lands a job at a prestigious fashion magazine, but wonders if the glamorous perks are worth working for the editor from hell.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A GIRL ON THE FRINGE ENTERS THE REALM OF NEW YORK''S CHIC, PARTY-HOPPING ELITE? Soon after Bette Robinson quits her horrendous Manhattan banking job like the impulsive girl she''s never been, the novelty of walking her four-pound dog around her unglamorous Murray Hill neighborhood wears as thin as the "What are you going to do with your life?" phone calls from her parents. Then Bette meets Kelly, head of Manhattan''s hottest PR firm, and suddenly she has a brand-new job where the primary requirement is to see and be seen inside the VIP rooms of the city''s most exclusive nightclubs. But when Bette begins appearing in a vicious new gossip column, she realizes that the line between her personal and professional life is...invisible.
