In A New York Minute

Kate Spencer's In a New York Minute is a wonderfully escapist, hilariously funny and joyful New York-set romantic comedy for readers who loved The Flatshare.

Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn''t even begun . . . Franny meets Hayes in the opposite of a meet-cute - when her dress gets caught in the subway doors on her way home and then rips, leaving her in the fashion equivalent of a hospital gown. Hayes is the stuffy suit whose one redeeming quality is giving Franny his jacket, saving her from showing her assets to half of New York. Franny is eager to forget the whole horribly embarrassing encounter as soon as possible, but neither of them anticipated a fellow commuter live-blogging them as #subwaybaes - turning their awkward run-in into click-bait and a manufactured love story for the ages . . . Quick to dismiss Hayes as just another a rich guy, Franny is sure she''ll never see him again, and she''s desperate to put her three minutes of viral fame behind her. But fate isn''t done with the would-be subway sweethearts just yet . . . A love letter to romance, friendship and the Big Apple, Kate Spencer''s In a New York Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The Flat Share , Our Stop and One Day in December . ''Spencer writes with a wry lilt and a gift for dialogue. The novel is as much a love-letter to New York City as any Nora Ephron screenplay, an ode to sticky days in Central Park...and the serendipity that can crash into you in a city that big and bustling.''

Zusammenfassung

'A sweet, hilarious treat' Christina Lauren, author of The Soulmate Equation

Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn't even begun . . .

Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She's been sacked, the subway doors ripped her favorite dress to ruins, and now she's flashed her unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the down side, he can't get away from her fast enough.

Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online. Suddenly Franny and her rescuer, Hayes Montgomery, are the newest social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping the #SubwayQTs.

Only Franny and Hayes couldn't be a more disastrous match. She's talkative, and creative. He's serious, shy, and all about numbers. Yet somehow, Hayes and Franny keep running into each other. It seems fate isn't done with the subway sweethearts just yet . . .

Kate Spencer's In a New York Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The Flatshare, Our Stop and One Day in December.
