( ) J'avais déjà essayé de lire [The Devil wears Prada], sans parvenir à m'y intéresser alors j'ai fait une nouvelle tentative avec un autre titre de la même romancière pour essayer de comprendre le phénomène. Le roman raconte l'histoire d'une jeune femme qui démissionne de son poste prenant et ennuyeux dans une banque et qui trouve un emploi d'attachée de presse dans une agence chargée d'organiser des événements mondains. Evidemment, çà donne lieu au récit des soirées people et des bouleversements dans sa vie, avec des quiproquos à la clé. Je n'ai pas trouvé les situations très drôles et franchement, j'ai dû me forcer pour terminer, ce qui me paraît le comble pour ce genre de lecture qui devrait être divertissante et facile.
I have never read The Devil Wears Prada, but I did see the movie and LOVED it so I was very excited about reading Everyone Worth Knowing because it is by the same author. Being very girly and very predictable, as most chick-lit books are, this one was just... okay. Bette is definitely a character that I could see myself being close friends with. She is a perfect mix of the down-to-earth/head-in-the-clouds type of person that I like. The simple fact that her guilty pleasure is her book club devoted to 'Smut' books (Harlequin Romance novels) is great. Personally, those are not my style of book but I could well imagine the shame that would exist if I was (as a young mom in her early thirties) addicted to them. Up and down, back and forth, here and there... this book was all over the place. From the beginning of each chapter to the end, the mood swings were intense. While it did make me want to read the next chapter, it was slow... I knew what was coming before it was there and just lacked the excitement that I was looking for. Maybe it is because I was imagining the amazing characters/story from The Devil Wears Prada... Overall, it was a chick-lit book through and through... a worthwhile read but not one that will change my life. I didn't LOOOONG to be any of the characters, but, as I said, would love to be a friend. So, I would prefer to know someone who knows Everyone Worth Knowing. Est contenu dansDistinctions
