I am finally done with my classes for this semester! Now I can read all the books that I want choose. The first book that I decided to read, instead of studying for my finals, is How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls. I have only read the first 100 pages, and I am enjoying it so much! I was a little nervous when I first started reading this book. After finishing Everyone Worth Knowing I did not think that I could find a book just as good. However, after reading the first chapter in How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls I knew that I was going to enjoy it.

Right off the bat, the main character, Megan, has bad luck. Things just keep happening to her, and the reader has that feeling that they can connect with Megan. After striking out at her job, more than once, she was sent to Florida to teach two rich girls, helping them get into Duke University, and passing their classes in High School.

As I read the book, I just keep thinking of different things from the media. The twins in the book reminded me of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. However, the twins in the book are nothing like the real twins. They are much more crazy than the real ones. The twins also reminded me of the Paris Hilton/Nicole Ritchie duo. The girls in the book act crazy enough. The book also reminded me of The Devil Wears Prada. Megan has to leave her boyfriend in New York City while she works with the twins. Even though she just arrived in Florida, she has found a handsome man. I do not know what happens between the two of them yet, but it reminds me of the separation between the main character in Devil and her boyfriend. I was also reminded of the film "What A Girl Wants". Megan had to leave her home to succeed with her job. She is also seen as a foreigner by the twins because she does not wear nice clothing. There is a coming out/benefit party that Megan attends. When she arrives, she looks drop dead gorgous and attracts the eyes of everyone. The two twins finally realize that they will not win and get rid of Megan.

I am very excited to continue the book. I strongly suggest that everyone reads this book if you have enjoyed the other books that I wrote about. You will also enjoy this book if you liked The A-List because they are written by the same author. The book is hard for me to put down, which is a horrible thing during finals. I can not wait to read more, and update you guys on the book! If you guys want to read the book, let me know so that we can talk about it while we read!!


So I finally finished Everyone Worth Knowing and it was definitely worth reading. I am kind of upset that the book ended, because I was so in love with reading it. The second half of the story was way better than the first half, in my opinion. I recommend this book to anyone that loves to read chick novels. There is finally a love interest that is introduced, and every page that I read, I was dying to know what was going to happen. This is a book that you will not be able to put down very easily. The characters are written wonderfully, and the development of the story works at a great pace.

The book gives all of us "normal" people an insight into the world of party planning, but for celebrity hosted events. The company that Bette works for, plans events for Blackberry and Playboy. Famous names are constantly being dropped throughout the book like Lindsay Lohan (my favorite), Jay-Z, and others. Bette and her co-workers are constantly partying. They go to Bungalow 8 everynight, just for publicity. Bette is in the gossip section of the newspaper almost daily. This is the life that almost every girl dreams of, but when reading it, realizes that it is better to read about it and fantasize, rather than actually live it. I do not want to give up the ending, but all I have to say is think about how The Devil Wears Prada ends. Just because you sort of know the ending, please read the book anyway because it is just that good.

Like I said in my previous post, this novel was written by the same author who wrote The Devil Wears Prada. When reading the two books, you can tell that they were written by the same author, but they are different from eachother. I think that this story, Everyone Worth Knowing, was a lot better than Devil. I found that the movie of The Devil Wears Prada was a lot better than the book. However, I could not imagine that if they made a movie for Everyone Worth Knowing it would be better than the book. I found the characters to be more exciting, and easier to fall in love with. It is so hard for me to find words to explain this novel, because it was just so great. I also feel like if tell you anything about the story, you will know everything and won't want to read it. And remember, when you do read the story, do not look at the back of the book to see what happens. Every time I opened up the book, I just wanted to read the ending but I would not let myself. And of course it made the book that much better!
