New Releases by Lauren Weisberger

Ab 30 tickt die Uhr: äMr. Rightä muss endlich gefunden werden. 3 verschworene Freundinnen machen die Probe aufs Exempel - mit überraschendem Ergebnis.

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?

The bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons is back with a delicious novel about a trio of best friends in Manhattan who agree to change their lives in the most personal and dramatic way possible—and to do it within one calendar year. 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 unforgettable characters. Let the games begin!

Twenty-seven-year-old Bette Robinson is fed up with the long hours and her obnoxious boss at her investment banking firm, so she quits and lands a job with New York''s hottest PR firm. It seems like her dream job, but could there be a downside in getting paid to party?

Roman d''humour (chick lit).

Een jonge vrouw uit New York verruilt haar degelijke, saaie baan bij een beleggingsbank voor een trendy baan bij een exclusief PR bureau dat o.a. party''s voor VIP''s organiseert.

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...

Glamour, Gucci und Champagner - Bette organisiert die trendigsten Parties New Yorks. Aber gehört sie wirklich in diese überdrehte, exaltierte Welt?

Andrea Sachs er småbyjenta som drømmer om redaktørjobb i New York. Hun får jobb som assistent for sjefredaktør Miranda i det fasjonable magasinet Runway (les Vogue), og anser seg for å være et skritt nærmere målet. Det hun ikke vet er at hun har fått jobben fra helvete, med djevelen som sjef. Miranda krever full service 24 timer i døgnet. Det er oppsigelsesgrunn å bruke stiletthæler som er lavere enn 7,5 cm, og å veie 50 kilo er å bli stemplet som tykk. Boken er filmatisert med Meryl Streep som sjefredaktør Miranda.

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.

The deliciously witty and delightfully dishy novel about life at a glamorous fashion magazine is now a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, set to open in theaters on June 30.

Andrea elsker litteratur, men ender som personlig assistent for moderedaktøren Miranda. Miranda er dygtig, rædselsfuld og despotisk, og Andrea må virkelig gøre vold på sig selv for ikke at ende i samme skuffe.
