The working title of The Doorman Wears Dolce makes this instantly recognisable as the follow-up to surely the most fabulously titled debut of 2003 The Devil Wears Prada. For her second novel Lauren Weisberger sticks with what she knows; New York City, but this time itâ€™s the achingly cool world of Manhattanâ€™s party people rather than the fashion pack. At the beginning of the novel Bette (Bettina) Robinson, 27 year old daughter of vegan hippie parents is working eighty-hour weeks as a corporate drone in the offices of investment bank CWK Hoffman. The highlight of her social calendar is a dinner date with her uncle and his boyfriend every Thursday night. Handily, said uncle is also a famous, highly syndicated columnist who manages to secure Bette a shiny new job as a party planner at top PR agency. Cue our heroineâ€™s descent into Manhattanâ€™s social whirl as she struggles with the outrageous demands of celebrity clients plus unwelcome exposure in a regular gossip column. Itâ€™s a perfect escapist read, and fans of The Devil Wears Prada will love it but if youâ€™re missing your SATC fix then Iâ€™d recommend Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin and Midnight in Manhattan by Francesca Delbanco as altogether more satisfying slices of the Big Apple
