The sometimes negative feedback given to "chic lit" novels is understandable at times, yet I feel that Weisberger's characters in "Everyone Worth Knowing" are written in an ordinary enough way that readers are able to more easily relate to them. The style of the writing can be seen as slightly bland because the characters are so completely normal. The are posed as every day people, doing every day things, in our often times cold world. The story is an easy read which allows for a large circle of readership as there is no complex message that the author attempts to deliver other then the realization that many people face a few times throughout life; which is that sometimes the life that you envy others for having is severely lacking in a sense of who you as a person are. The novel simply tells a story that happens to teach us to be content with who we are and what we have rather than wishing we were all rock/movie stars. Weisberger's writing in this novel taught me that it is ok to simply tell an average story that readers will enjoy even if it may not be considered a literary masterpiece.
