Gossip & Gucci

Más información sobre el libro

Lauren Weisberger, known for her bestselling debut, returns with a cautionary tale centered on the PR industry, echoing themes familiar to fans of her previous work. The story follows Bette Robinson, a disillusioned Emory graduate who abandons her dull yet lucrative job at an investment bank after a frustrating encounter with her boss. Embracing a carefree lifestyle of sleeping in and watching daytime TV, Bette soon lands a position at a trendy public relations firm, where her responsibilities involve late-night parties and feeding gossip columns. As she navigates this glamorous yet superficial world, Bette's ascent up the social ladder comes at the cost of her relationships with friends, family, and a promising romantic interest. Weisberger cleverly transforms outrageous situations into humorous anecdotes, such as a woman contemplating suicide who changes her mind upon learning she is just 18 months away from acquiring a coveted Birkin bag. This blend of wit and a touch of voyeurism makes the narrative a guilty pleasure, inviting readers to indulge in the highs and lows of Bette's journey through fame and fortune.
