Her friends rely on her to fix their problems. It’s time for her to tackle her own.

Jenny Esposito’s best friend forever, Tessa, assigns her the task of patching up the relationship between Tessa and her dismissed billionaire boyfriend. The best route to the boyfriend appears to be through his right-hand woman, Gwen, who’s rumored to be a vampire, though Jenny’s inquiries suggest she’s more likely a Manchurian princess. As Jenny’s involvement with Gwen deepens, she struggles with Barry Manilow’s “Even Now” conundrum—whether it’s possible to commit to someone else if you’re in love with your bff. Luckily, Rita the parrot is available to provide moral and hairdressing support as well as expertise in high-end Manhattan real estate.

Daughter of Manhattan is a thoughtful book about what it means to be in love and the practical truth that can be gleaned from a careful study of The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, featuring:

- financial insights: why every girl should have a gold-filled piggy bank and the place of dowries and prenups in modern marriage,
- an exposition of the procreation challenges faced by city tortoises,
- a parrot’s-eye view of the towers of Central Park West, and
- French fries and cake.
