Since November 2009Book News: Lauren Weisberger
January 7th, 2010 by LeahLauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada which inspired a film of the same name, will have her fourth book released in 2010. It’s due out on 27th May 2010 and is currently untitled although the American Amazon have it titled as The Last Night At Chateau Marmont. I’ve only read one of Lauren’s books (Everyone Worth Knowing - although I can’t remember it) but have The Devil Wears Prada to read as I loved the film. Her new one sounds interesting and here is the synopsis:
Two college sweethearts are living a happy, rather ordinary life in New York but there’s a slight twist — she’s the breadwinner, supporting her musician boyfriend. Until the tables are turned when he’s discovered by a Sony exec and their worlds are turned upside down. Soon they are holidaying in the Hamptons, adorning the cover of Vanity Fair and attending every glitzy party in town — all the while his career is reaching new, dizzying heights. But the trappings of this elite lifestyle mean our heroine must face the wrath of the US press.
Scorned for having a less-than-perfectly-honed LA body and brutalised for being ‘ordinary’ things couldn’t get any worse! Then news erupts that her best friend, who’s been her confidante through these months of misery, has sold her innermost secrets to the press and her life spirals out of control. She finds solace in a secret support group: The Civilian Ex-Wives and Girlfriends of Celebrities Group — a place to gossip, lubricated with lashings of shared experiences and strong cocktails. As this sassy group right the wrongs of their past relationships, our heroine must decide if she’s going to sink or swim.

I can’t wait for this to come out. I’ve read and loved all of Lauren’s books and this one sounds like it will be just as good!
CANNOT WAIT!
Sounds great!
This book sounds great. I loved the devil wears prada but I thought her last two books were quite dissapointing.
Everyone worth knowing is a brilliant book. One of my favourites.
I hope it’s better than her third book anyway. I really enjoyed “The Devil Wears Prada” (more than the film!) and “Everyone Worth Knowing” but “Chasing Harry Winston” was dire.
This sounds really good. I agree with Paula’s comment - I loved Devil Wears Prada and Everyone Worth Knowing, but really did not enjoy Chasing Harry Winston. This one, however, sounds very promising! Can’t wait.
