FUN AND FUMBLES IN THE SEARCH FOR TRUE LOVE - By: Gail Cooke, 04 Jun 2008 
Chick lit fans probably know alll the anticipated plots; they may have seen them alll & read them alll. But, they definitely haven't heard them alll until they give a listen to Lily Rabe's delicious reading of Chasing Harry Winston by The Devil Wears Prada author Lauren Weisberger.
A seasoned stage, televison & film actress Rabe gives added verve to this story of three glam New Yorkers approaching thirty & none too happy about it. Accomplished actress that she is Rabe easily shifts from voicing Emmy to Leigh to Adriana. Each of our heroines has distinctly different personalities, which are revealed by this actress's subtle switches in modulation & tone.
Despite dissimilarities in character this trio of women have remained steadfast friends since college days. But now as the inevitable 30 looms each decides it is time for a dramatic change & is determined to see it through.
Amiable & amenable Emmy is the culinary artist of the group. She'd make a perfect wife & mom but despite these obvious qualifications she has been dropped by Duncan whom she envisioned meeting at the altar. So, Emmy decides since faithfulness hadn't gotten her anywhere she'd play the field - a large field & have sex with a number of men until she finds the perfect one.
Leigh is the bookish type, a book editor who likes what she does & loves the man of her dreams, sportscaster Russell. However, when Leigh is assigned to edit the latest by the very attractive young married Jesse Chapman she finds that more than punctuation is involved.
Adriana is the predictable bombshell, daughter of wealthy Brazilian parents. She's been more than out & about, & thinks that perhaps the perfect man for her is a famous movie director. Well as they say you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince.
With a Sex & the City backdrop Chasing Harry Winston offers a series of fun & fumbles in the search for true love - enjoy!
