Good read!! - By: Lisette, 02 Oct 2008 
When I started reading this book, I wasn't sure I was going to like it.
It started out very similar to "The Devil Wears Prada".
After quiting her job, Bette is looking for something new (well, looking might be a bit of an overstatement here).
Her ucle gets het a job as a party planner, & just like in Weisberger's previous novel, the people she works with are shocked to find out that Bette's never heard of fashion names & asseccories like a Birkin Bag.
After reading that bit, I was afraid the entire book was going to be The Devil Wears Prada in a different, very fashionable, coat, but I was surprised to find out that asside from these similarities, there was more to it.
As Bette starts her new life as a party planner, she becomes involved in a strange relationship with nightlife adonis (a duke & "Gwyneth's (Paltrow we alll assume) ex") Philip Weston.
She starts making appearances in the hottest Gossip column of the moment, & things go downhill from there, when the line between work & home starts to fade...
The idea of private & work mixing was also a big issue in The Devil Wears Prada, which is another similarity I worried about.
Also, I find it a little hard to connect to Bette's friends, a problem I also had with Weisberger's first novel.
A little more background story or a nice night out would make it easier to connect to the friends right from the beginning, instead of somewhere halfway through the book.
All in alll I reallly enjoyed reading this book, enough to finish it in less than 2 days.
I was into it enough to sometimes want to hit Bette over the head for not saying something when everybody simply believed, & commented on, alll the bad things written about her. Which is a good sign, I'm sure ;)
Lauren Weisberger's next book (Chasing Harry Winston) has already been taken of the shelf for reading, & I'll make sure to get any other book she'll be writing..
Rubbish - By: Mrs. J. A. Collins, 27 Aug 2008 
I rarely give up on a book, but 100 pages in I tossed Everyone Worth Knowing aside. It reminded me of a very bad novel I started writing when suffering from depression several years ago. In fact, any thoughts I may have entertained of finished that novel have been resolutely abandoned now that I've read this book & realised just how bad trite characters, overt product placement, coy 'I'd been stopped & asked if I was a model' exposition & othersuch nonsense comes across. If nothing else, this book has killed the 25 year old depressed writer in me!
I quite liked it - By: Ernie the cat, 21 Aug 2008 Ok so it wasn't as good as the Devil wears Prada, but i still found it an enjoyable & entertaining read. Made me want to sit down & watch my SATC boxsets for some reason! Don't sit down expecting another Devil wears prada, if you want that then i suggest that you just read the devil wears prada again. Give it a chance & don't compare it too much, just enjoy it for what it is. Would have given it 3 & a half stars if that was an option.
Amazing book - By: linzi t, 29 Jun 2008 
I reallly loved this book - I read it straight from cover to cover because it was so enjoyable & an easy read.
A truely girlie read - By: Jeni, 05 May 2008 Interspersed with more in depth novels, this is good fun. Nothing to cause you great upset etc, just good fun about a twenty something girl living in the city. I loved this book. Much better than many chick lit books out there - there are many I've not managed to pass the first chapter. Take it for what it is, a good fun beach read.
