More about the book
Lauren Weisberger, known for her bestselling debut, returns with a cautionary tale about the PR industry, echoing themes from her previous work. The story follows Bette Robinson, a twentysomething Emory graduate who rejects her parents' hippie ideals for a high-paying but dull job at a prestigious investment bank. After a condescending encounter with her boss, she impulsively quits and spends weeks indulging in a leisurely lifestyle with her dog, Millington. Eventually, her uncle helps her land a job at a trendy public relations firm, where her duties revolve around late-night parties and feeding gossip columns. As Bette navigates the social scene, she climbs the ladder at the expense of her friends, family, and a promising romantic interest. Weisberger cleverly transforms outrageous situations into entertaining anecdotes, such as a woman who almost took her life until she learned she was just 18 months away from acquiring a coveted Birkin bag. This blend of wit and a touch of voyeurism makes the narrative a guilty pleasure that readers will find hard to resist.
