Publisher's summary

When 27-year-old Bette Robinson quits her Manhattan banking job, she knows she won't miss the 80-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.

Entertaining

Plot points were predictable and lacked depth, but overall the story is cute. A good book for a beach or poolside vacation.

Predictable but enjoyable.

Light hearted, you know the end within a few chapters of the beginning. Easy, fun and enjoyable.

Not the best

While I enjoyed the performance, it wasn't my favourite as I found Bette spineless and wishy-washy. I got that she was caught in between, but about half way through, her whole "I'm sorry, I have no choice, it's my job" routine was getting old. I felt compelled to yell "own your choices girl!" at my iPhone. To be fair, this feeling is undoubtedly exacerbated by the fact that this is my fourth consecutive Weisberger read, and this is a definite common trait with her heroines. Even so, I found Bette just a little bit worse than the others, so many aspects of her life were a farce.
That aside, the performance was great and the story isn't bad, my main issue is just that I couldn't identify with the main character.

Agonizing Performance

Of the hundreds of books I've listened to, this is in my Top 3 worst performance - or maybe it's the editing. The pauses between thoughts, the gasps for breath, the lack of real inflection made me wonder why people say it's a good performance. The book could have been shortened by 25% (it's overly long) if the editing had reduced these crazy gaps and gasps.

The story was average, by far the weakest of Lauren Weisberger's books. None is really stellar but they offer mindless relief from the more serious news of the day. The story would have gained strength if it were more listen-able. (Actually I'd have switched to print but didn't want to spend more money on a weak book.)

Lauren Weisberger...Where are you!?

Everyone Worth Knowing was just another in her long line of A+ novels! The hot social scenes and big lights ,mixed in with the Ms. & Mr. anyone characters interacting in that world. How fun! And Lauren fills that with so many surprising twists and turns....a new, great, Winner!,
We need more from Lauren now! She’s the best!

Story fantastic, narrator not so much

I adored the story but the narrators voice was hard to get through. Very awkward pronunciations.

What a waste!

I absolutely love audible and listening to audio books. Lauren weisberger is definitely one of my favorite authors!!! She is brilliant however, if she had any choice in who read this one, well I honestly kept thinking Stina must be some relation. Stina is absurdly terrible. To be Frank, I want my point back and the few hours I lost hoping maybe stone was nervous. Maybe she will get better as the book goes on. Nope! She can’t read at all and her tone is terrible. She completely ruined this book. I will keep an eye on it to see if Weisberger gets a clue and hires a new voice actor. As it is now, I do NOT recommend! Do not buy it. You will be mad!

Not great but not awful

Needed something light after a very dark book. Very predictable but it was Ok for a light, quick read.
