From the author of I TAKE THIS MAN comes another quirky, funny romance about sisters, family, love-lives, all set against a great Manhattan coffee-drinking background.
Francesca and Amanda are in trouble. When they took over their parents' coffee bar in Brooklyn Heights, they thought they'd have a business for life. Now, they've managed to run it into the ground, and emergency action is required. Clever, thoughtful Francesca thinks that brainpower is the key to starting over, whereas Amanda firmly believes that a sweet smile and great hair get one a lot further in life. Who is rightIf Valerie Frankel weren't a writer, she'd probably be a bag lady. Fortunately, she's found her niche, writing novels and magazine articles for women who share her somewhat dirty sense of humor. Her previous books include THE ACCIDENTAL VIRGIN and the Quills Award-nominated THE GIRLFRIEND CURSE which People" magazine described as 'wickedly entertaining.' Frankel writes about sex and dieting for Cosmo", Glamour", Self", Allure", the New York Times" and Marie Claire", among other publications. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her two daughters and her husband.
