Author: Linda Yellin

Released: January 21st 2014
Book Summary:
Molly Hallberg is a thirty-nine-year-old divorced writer living in New York City who wants her own column, a Wikipedia entry, and to never end up in her family Long Island upholstery business. For the past four years Molly’s been on staff for an online magazine, covering all the wacky assignments. She’s snuck vibrators through security scanners, speed-dated undercover, danced with the Rockettes, and posed nude for a Soho art studio.
Fearless in everything except love, Molly is now dating a forty-four-yearold chiropractor. He’s comfortable, but safe. When Molly is assigned to write a piece about New York City romance in the style of Nora Ephron, she flunks out big-time. She can’t recognize romance. She can’t recognize the one man who can go one-on-one with her, the one man who gets her. But with wit, charm, whip-smart humor, and Nora Ephron romantic comedies, Molly learns to open her heart and suppress her cynicism in this bright, achingly funny novel.
My Review:
I am a total fan of romantic comedies, but not such a fan of reading romance novels. This novel goes hand in hand with my love for romantic comedies and with just a touch of romance. You knew where the story was going, but the joy in reading is how the ending comes about. You laugh, you hope; this book is a delight, and the perfect book to read when you are ready for something not very serious, that will make you smile and enjoy life again.
