Bette is sick and tired of her seventy hour work week in the wonderful world of banking. One day, without really thinking it through, she tells her boss that she quits. No one is more surprised than Bette. Through some connections of her uncle's, she starts a totally different job as an events planner for a public relations firm. In other words, she goes to parties for a living. As delightful as it sounds, Bette soon finds that the lifestyle of the rich and famous can be overwelming and somewhat shallow. She also finds herself in the midst of a relationship that really isn't a relationship at all, but merely a publicity scam. When she meets the man of her dreams, a bouncer at one of the nightclubs her group often frequents, there are many complications to their relationship.
This is the second book that I've read by Lauren Weisenberger and for the most part, I enjoyed it. Bette's description of the party life was fun and almost disgusting at times. Her friend, Penelope, and her parents were delightful characters. There was quite a bit of a side story about her love of romance novels. Somehow this didn't really seem to fit in the overall scheme of the book. I also thought this book was plenty long but overall, it was fun. The ending was a little too fairy tale but hey, this wasn't supposed to be real life, or was it?
Rating - 4 stars
