Leigh, Emmy, and Adriana are best friends about to turn thirty. Emmy has her life all figured out, Leigh's is on the right track, and Adriana has not a care in the world. That is until Emmy's boyfriend of five years runs off with the twenty-year-old personal trainer SHE paid for. Then begins a year long challenge for the girls: Emmy will start the Tour de Whore '08, Adriana will become a fiancee to some lucky man, and Leigh will make some kind of large change to her life. They all have one year to do this.Emmy's Tour de Whore '08 means she must sleep with one man for each continent. She has North America down.. six more to go. But can the serial monogamist really have carefree, no-strings-attached sex with six different men? And Adriana.. can she truly settle down with just ONE man? Leigh's life is so organized and planned... how will she deal with a major life change?
This book was kind of slow in the beginning. It was good from the start.. but I was beginning to wonder when it would be different from any other chick lit. I've never read "The Devil Wears Prada" or "27 Dresses" but I loved both of the movies so I went for "Chasing Harry Winston" instead..
After I got through the first three chapters things started picking up a bit. I found Leigh somewhat irritating and pretty much skimmed through the sections with her in it. She was so dull and whiny that I couldn't take much of her story. She did get better towards the end, but I feel I was jaded by her and could't quite enjoy her at all. Adriana was fun, but annoying in that perfect, "I'm so beautiful," cocky attitude. Emmy was all over delightful and I had so much sympathy for her because I could relate to her wants and needs the most. Overall, this book was great: cute, funny, and makes you appreciate the special bond between girlfriends. I'd suggest it definately for a light and fun read!
