Party Girl

The Girls, Book 1

De: Rachel Hollis

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin, Rachel Hollis, Kathleen McInerney

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Wash Your Face comes the story of a small-town girl finding her way in Hollywood one misstep at a time—now paired with the novella Party Girl’s First Date.

Landon Brinkley’s dreams are all coming true. She’s landed an internship with a fabulous event planner for the Hollywood elite, taking her from small-town Texas to the bright lights of LA. Landon finds herself in a world in which spending a million dollars on an event—even a child’s birthday party—is de rigueur, and the whims of celebrity clients are life-and-death matters. At first, the thrill of working on A-list parties and celebrity weddings is enough to survive the seventy-five-hour workweeks and her mercurial boss. But when the reality of the business reveals itself, she’s forced to make a choice: do whatever it takes to get ahead, or stay true to herself.

Drawing on the author's real-life experiences as an event planner to the stars, Party Girl takes readers on an adventure among Hollywood’s most beautiful—and most outrageous—people, revealing the ugly side of Hollywood's prettiest parties.

Revised edition: This edition of Party Girl includes editorial revisions and additional content.

Authors aren't narrators

First, I really enjoyed this story line. It's basically The Devil Wears Prada but within the party planning industry rather than fashion industry. The characters are all interesting and well developed, and that makes the reader want to see how they fare in the sequels. The gang is fun and energetic, and the romance within the story is very sweet as well.
That said, I almost returned this book because I could not get into it with the narration by Rachel Hollis. She speaks quickly and with a very heavy southern accent that made it hard to become engaged at first. Every character, males included, have the same voice so it's difficult to know who is speaking. I spent a lot of time backing up to hear lines again. I signed into my account in order to return the book after making two attempts to get into it. While there, I again read the reviews. So many enjoyed the story that it made me angry that I couldn't listen to it. I decided to keep it and try again. I listened to a different book and then came back to this one. After a fashion I got used to the accent, and she even seemed to lighten it up a bit later in the story. I'm glad I stuck it out because I was fully involved by the end. Still, not all authors are voice actors. If you can't read a story and at least attempt to give different voices to different characters, you should not be a narrator. I find myself wanting very much to listen to Book 2 now, but I almost dread having to struggle through the beginning again. Please hire a real narrator next time.

love this book! easy to listen to and addicting!

Couldn't stop listening to this book. As a huge Rachel Hollis fan, it definitely did not disappoint. On to the next book in the series.

Chick lit- yes please

I actually loved this book. It was very Devil Wears Prada, but I couldn't put it down once I got into it. I love chick lit and I'll probably listen to it over and over.

Please write more

I absolutely loved all three of these books. I think I listened to all 3 in less than a week. I was really sad when they were over. I fell in love with all the characters. I want them to make a movie!
