She was this close to the ring and the baby she's wanted her whole life when her boyfriend left her for his twenty-three-year-old personal trainer -- whose fees are paid by Emmy. With her plans for the perfect white wedding in the trash, Emmy is now ordering takeout for one. Her friends insist an around-the-world sex-fueled adventure will solve all her problems -- could they be right? Leigh, a young star in the publishing business, is within striking distance of landing her dream job as senior editor and marrying her dream guy. And to top it all off, she has just purchased her dream apartment. Only when Leigh begins to edit the enfant terrible of the literary world, the brilliant and brooding Jesse Chapman, does she start to notice some cracks in her perfect life... Adriana is the drop-dead-gorgeous daughter of a famous supermodel. She possesses the kind of feminine wiles made only in Brazil, and she never hesitates to use them. But she's about to turn thirty and -- as her mother keeps reminding her -- she won't have her pick of the men forever. Everyone knows beauty is ephemeral and there's always someone younger and prettier right around the corner. Suddenly she's wondering...does Mother know best? These three very different girls have been best friends for a decade in the greatest city on earth. As they near thirty, they're looking toward their future...but despite all they've earned -- first-class travel, career promotions, invites to all the right parties, and luxuries small and large -- they're not quite sure they like what they see... One Saturday night at the Waverly Inn, Adriana and Emmy make a pact: within a single year, each will drastically change her life. Leigh watches from the sidelines, not making any promises, but she'll soon discover she has the most to lose. Their friendship is forever, but everything else is on the table. Three best friends. Two resolutions. One year to pull it off. | | | Features: | |

 FunMar 20, 2010
I enjoyed this book, I read it on vacation and it kept me captured. A nice coming of age story of 3 best friends that I could relate too. I think everyone could identify with at least one of the characters in the book. This would be a great book club book or to read during the summer.
 DOPEYMar 19, 2010
This book gives Chick Lit a bad name. C'mon now, we all love a beach read, this doesn't qualify because who can read it on the beach or elsewhere? I just returned from vacation in St. Martens. I purchased this book at the airport because of Lauren's other works. However, I simply found it disjointed, boring, ridiculous and not worth my time. I put it down twice to read other books on the beach. Then, I took one last stab at it on the flight home - it is so awful. I put it down to read the SKY MALL magazine cover-to-cover. IT IS DOPEY.

Awful!Mar 16, 2010
This book is horrible. The characters lack depth, there is no flow in transition, and the storying just drags on. I bought this book at an airport and thought that since "The Devil Wears Prada" was good, that this book had to be good too. It was a fail attempt to replicate Sex and the City. You can't identify with any of the characters, they are petty, vain, boring, and childish.

 horrible characters!!Feb 20, 2010
Disappointing. Very selfish characters-did not care what happened to them, truly disliked 2 of the 3 characters.

I don't recommendFeb 13, 2010
"Chasing Harry Winston" started out promising, but by the end of chapter one I was bored. Found myself skimming through the book and then just stopped reading it altogether. The plot did not hold my interest. I couldn't find myself liking any of the three main characters.
