On Sale Next Week: Lauren Weisberger

Charlotte Abbott -- Publishers Weekly, 5/20/2008 7:17:00 AM

Just in time for Memorial Day weekend, the author of The Devil Wears Prada returns with her third novel, Chasing Harry Winston. According to the PW review, it’s a “hilarious, silly and entirely predictable chick lit romp” that’s also "witty, clever and fun to read.”
