Last Night at Chateau Marmont by Lauren Weisberger

Brooke and Julian Alter are a happy couple--she's a nutritionist working two jobs to support them, he's a talented musician with a low-level recording contract--but when Julian hits it big in The Devil Wears Prada author Weisberger's not-ready-for-prime-time latest, their marriage wobbles under the strain of fame. Suddenly Julian is traveling nonstop, a pawn of his manager and publicist, and Brooke tries to balance her career with her desire to back him up. Paparazzi stalk their every move (believable in his case, less so in hers); her job is threatened by her repeated absences to attend events like Julian's Grammy appearance; and their shared giddiness dissipates as they are divided--physically and emotionally--as a couple. It takes many dozens of pages and a number of by-the-way announcements that might have ratcheted up the tension if they'd been part of the story to get Brooke and Julian into a crisis, unsurprising though that crisis may be.

I love Lauren Weisberger's books and this one did not disappoint. Her stories are so fun, but they have a realism to them that makes it easy to connect to the characters.

This is the story of a married couple going through the ups and downs of instant fame. I will definitely look at my trashy tabloid stories much differently after seeing it from the side of the "obsession object".

I really enjoyed this story a lot. It was a great read and quick too. Not necessarily one of my favorites, but it was a great chic lit!
