Loving your job is one thing. Loving your boss is quite different. You're about to turn thirty, all your friends are getting engaged and pregnant - and your body-clock is ticking. Then you get an offer to move to New York. So you take a chance and break up with your boyfriend - only to land yourself in the singles capital of the world.When Bridget Harrison arrived in Manhattan to work for America's most famous tabloid, the New York Post, she was in at the deep end from day one. Dispatched by day to cover murders and muggings in the roughest corners of New York, by night she began to write a column about her search for love in a dating shark tank. So far so Sex and the City - until she realised the one man she was falling for also happened to be her boss (and unfortunately this wasn't fiction).THE HIGHS-Being sent out to cover your first breaking news storyHaving the chance to go on a new blind date every weekRealizing you love your editorTHE LOWS-Finding no-one you interview can understand your accentGoing on a new blind date every weekRealizing you love your editor
A real-life Bridget Jones's Diary meets Sex and the City...an insider's look at what life is really like in the big city. Harrison doesn't shy away from the funny - but sometimes sad - truths -- Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City
This is almost better than Bridget Jones' Diary... She's gutsier and funnier than Bridget but just as socially and fashionably inept. And she resolves to get to the bottom of why it's so damn difficult to meet a good man in New York, with some truly laugh-out-loud funny twists * Cosmopolitan *
A brilliant read - single women will find it both shocking and hilarious * The Sun *
As hilarious as it is tear jerking. A real insiders' comedy of New York -- Plum Sykes
This Sex and the City/Bridget Jones hybrid will have you gripped as our Brit heroine embarks on a new job and a string of dates in New York City. It's honest and funny - but the best thing is, it's all true * The Times *
