oh, lauren weisberger. why must you write such ugly people. not physically ugly, naturally. since all three of these BFF 4 evas are gorgeous in their own ways. there's leigh, who we start off with, who is like a totally neurotic version of andy from the devil wears prada. and emmy who reminds me of bess from nancy drew, even though she's supposed to be flat chested and skinny. and adriana the brazilian goddess who puts both the other girls to shame.

i don't know. the premise here is a bit iffy. leigh is almost always on the outskirts of the main action. while her friends make life-changing resolutions, she just thinks of things she'd like to change. oddly, her suffocating paranoia and prickliness aren't the top things on her list. no, no, she wants to get rid of the amazing, hot, rich man she feels is suffocating her with his endless understanding.

right.

the other girls are just as awful. the brazilian is worried that, at 30, her looks are fading fast and she best use her tried and true brazilian methods of seduction to hook herself a real man. a husband! and the poor not-fat fat one has been dumped by her asshole-loser of a boyfriend and decides to go on a world-wide excursion to sleep with as many men as humanly possible. considering she is a serial monogamist, this proves to be difficult for her - even after she swears she gets the hang of it after some creepy poolside sex after her sister announces she's pregnant.

yup. we be dealing with some major sluts and assholes here.

whatever. it's a quick summer read that makes you briefly remember your tumultuous youth while simultaneously making you wish you were both younger and richer. then, you realize how incredibly insane all these women are and you silently rejoice at your good fortune to be happily settled and wrinkly.

2.5 stars. i liked it much better than devil wears prada but not enough to read it again.
