What Happens to Men When They Move to Manhattan (2014)
Amalia has moved to New York to do a master's degree. She's sharing a nice apartment in West Village with two roommates and has a lovely caring boyfriend in Nicholas. But she is somewhat besotted with fellow classmate Michael. He has a girlfriend, though, and Amalia spends a lot of time trying to convince her best friend Cassie that she's not actually in love with him at all. With relatable characters and an easy writing style, this is a story about a girl trying to map out her future and decide whether she has found the right guy or not. There are no earth-shattering events but this doesn't detract from the book at all, in fact it only reinforces its strength as an authentic reflection of real life for those in their early 20s. Readers who like heroines who show a bit of spirit will embrace the ending, with the promise of more of Amalia's story to come in a future book. The oddest part was the title itself - taken from a brief reference within the story - which didn't truly reflect what you get within the pages at all.
