Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger

Everyone Worth Knowing is from the author of The Devil Wears Prada. (The movie has just been released on DVD).

The main character, twenty-seven year old Bette Robinson works a boring job at a bank, has a comfortable set of friends and lives on the verge of frumpiness with her dog Millington. That is until her best friend Penelope announces her engagement to her loser boyfriend (in Bette's opinion), and has two rings to flaunt (one for everyday wear and one for show).

Bette unexpectedly, especially to herself, quits her boring cozy job and lazes out in her apartment for weeks on end. With a little help from her uncle, Bette is offered a glamourous position with Kelly and Company, the hottest PR and events planning firm in Manhattean. Her job description is mainly to see and be seen. Before she knows what's hit her, Bette is the main attraction to a famous movie star and finds herself at every important party on a nightly basis.

Bette is often photographed with her famed boyfriend and is plastered in the papers daily. Her new boss loves the publicity and Bette can't believe that she is "in" with so many famous people and that she is paid for attending their parties.

But then the gossip coloumns start to get personal and it seems that someone is out to get Bette. And she begins to wonder if the glamour is all that it's cracked up to be.
