Overview

When twenty-seven-year-old Bette Robinson quits her Manhattan banking job, she knows she won't miss the eighty-hour workweeks, her claustrophobic cubicle or her revolting boss's Quotes of the Day.

Then Bette meets Kelly, head of Manhattan's hottest PR and events planning firm, and suddenly she has a brand-new job where the primary requirement is to see and be seen.

The work at Kelly & Company takes Bette inside the VIP rooms of the city's most exclusive nightclubs, to parties crowded with celebrities and socialites. Soon she's dating an infamous playboy who's great for her career but bad for her sanity -- and scaring off the one decent guy she meets. As her coworkers repeatedly point out, how can you complain about a job that pays you to party? Bette has to agree -- until she begins appearing in a vicious new gossip column. That's when Bette's life on paper takes on a whole new meaning -- and she learns the line between her personal and professional lives is...invisible.

Everyone Worth Knowing

Written by Peggy Stortz on February 6th, 2008

  • Book Rating: 1/5

To be fair, I only listened to one CD from this book. The characters were all stereotypical, not nuanced or believable. There are too many outstanding books to waste your time with this one.

Easy listening is how I’d label this book along with fun, enjoyable and fast paced, but unquestionably a chick-book.

actually pretty accurate

Yes, this is what many of us New Yorkers strive for. Although I have never been anywhere close to page 6, being shallow(and being refused access to Bungalow 8) is sort of a way of life out here. The book is cute, although I think its a New York book for New Yorkers(or maybe New Yorkers at heart). If you want to know how some of us live(or try to live) have a go at the book!

i sent it right back. i couldn't care of the juvenile stuff, or the long talk of itself and other people which i couldn't relate. then to add had cuss words more desirable than i care for instead of using professional word to bring out the same statement.

Fun but Soul Robbing

Written by Anonymous from Thiensville, WI on September 8th, 2007

This book was a mindless and entertaining listen. But the main character compromising her values for 75% of the book was souless.

Just for fun

No, this book won't change your life or change the world. But it sure was fun! If you just want a break from the every-day(or your commute), this is a very enjoyable listen. It was just plain fun - which we could all use sometimes.

Not bad but after a while got tedious listening to the shallow and morally challenged subjects and I found myself waiting for soemthing substantial to happen.

Ugh. Double Ugh. Unfortunately, this form doesn't allow me to assign no stars for a rating. I appreciate light chic-lit as much as the next woman, but this book was awful! The narrator's gravelly, whiny voice made the poor content unbearable.

Was OK

It was ok. If you have read Devil Wears Prada, then this book will feel similar. Also it was precitable, you can tell what is going to happen next. What fascinated me was the inner world of celebrities studdied parties and tabloid. .

New York Madness

Written by DidiS on February 8th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 5/5

I love these chic novels to make the time pass in the car. I enjoyed Bette's exploits as the innocent in the den of evil PR demons in NYC. You know that she is going to see and do naughty things, but are anxious to live vicariously through her. I will continue to rent this type of books and read the celeb magazines to pass time quickly. This one will be out in movie form soon-I hope.
