Changes

Angela is not so much broken-hearted as broken-pocketed as she quickly realises that she is in a city to which she has never even been, that she doesn't know a soul and she has no job. Enter Jenny, hotel receptionist, impromptu tour guide and Angela's Brand New Best Friend. Jenny must have a magic wand because as if it is too good to be true (and this is prime chick lit, so it '''is''' too good to be true), almost immediately, Angela somehow manages to land her dream job as a writer slash blogger (à la Carrie Bradshaw) at the city's hottest magazine and pretty much all the stuff of a girl's favourite fantasy is part of her job description. Cue munificent spending sprees at Bloomies, dates with one hot boy after another, clubs, bars and generally more single girl fun than you can shake a stick at. And how much does Angela love her new life? Will Angie ''heart'' New York more than she ''hearts'' home? Well you will have to read ''I Heart New York'' and find out for yourself.

To summarise, ''I Heart New York'' will be lauding it over others in the genre on the Bestseller list for weeks and months. For a first novel, Kelk has delivered a riot of girly colour and quite a passable travel guide, to boot and it would be churlish to say otherwise.
