This was one of the smallest books in my collection, and for that reason I read it the night before I went on holiday. Quite frankly I wish I had not bothered. The writing is terrible, cliched, and if there was any originality in the book then I must have blinked and missed it.
Rather than any form of detailed plot we have details of designers (was the writer trying for freebies from Marc Jacobs???), numerous descriptions of handbags, shops etc.

Angela is 26 and maid of honor at her best friend's wedding, when, dressed in a horrible coffee-coloured fish-tail bridesmaid dress, and clutching a pair of Louboutins in her hand, she finds her fiance having sex with another girl in the back of their car.
After screaming at him she discovers that he has been seeing this girl for months, and that her best friend and her new husband have been playing doubles tennis with them!

Angela had thought her life was great, she was celebrating her best friend’s wedding and she was engaged to her childhood sweetheart. But little does she know that her fiancé isn’t all he is cracked up to be. He betrays her in the most ugly way possible and this leads to Angela fleeing the country and finds respite in New York, New York. So good they named it twice.

Within mere hours of her discovery Angela Clark decides the best resolution for her problem is to jump on a plane to New York City.

I was delighted to win this book in one of the Goodreads' giveaways. That is until my spouse lost the book envelope in a pile of bills to be filed. Thus, until I got around to filing, my least favorite thing (besides dishes) I couldn't recall where the heck I had put the book after I got it. Imagine my delight to find, in the middle of endless sheets of monotony disguised as bills and other important documents, a new book to read.

I HEART NEW YORK, by Lindsey Kelk, was a fun and fresh romantic read. Kelk created a lovely broken-hearted heroine that readers are sure to root for during her trek to New York City to reinvent herself after a terrible breakup.
Right from the start I loved this book. I am a big fan of reading books where the characters are from the UK. Angela was the cutest NYC-challenged girl! Her bubbly, no-nonsence personality brought friends to her circle in droves. With the help of Jenny, Angela More...

I never really got into the chick-lit genre so what made me pick this book to read, I'm not really sure. Maybe it's because I've always had a yearning to flee to New York, have a trendy makeover, spend obscene amounts of money on designer clothes, find the perfect indie rock god boyfriend and land the perfect job.

At her best friend’s wedding, Angela walks in on her long-term boyfriend Mark cheating on her with someone on the back seat of their car. Nice. So she does what any self-respecting woman would do – flees… not just the wedding, but the country as well! Angela ends up in New York City with no friends, no money and no job.
But she soon makes friend with hotel receptionist Jenny and she’s determined to put a smile back on Angela’s face. Cue a LOT of spending in Bloomingdale’s, getting dru More...

I picked up this book after reading another fab book about New York (Fairytale of New York by Miranda Dickinson). I am clearly having my own NY moment! And yes, both made me desperate to visit the Big Apple again soon.

I Heart New York is a fun chicklit story about Angela who finds her boyfriend and his 'tennis partner' in the back of the car at her best friend´s wedding. She decides to take off and what better place to go than New York? She takes a taxi from the airport and lands at a hotel, where she meets her new best friend: Jenny, who is the receptionist of the hotel. Jenny takes care of the post-breakup eating frenzy and sets up a makeover for Angela, to make her a new person to start over again.

There is every reason that on paper this book is very much a cliche. And technically it is. It doesn't deviate greatly from other novels of its genre. That isn't to say that it is completely unoriginal either - at the very least it is a fun and entertaining read. It is certainly one of the more enjoyable books of the chick-lit genre that I've picked up and it definitely compels me to read further into the 'I Heart' series.

I loved everything about this book! I've never been to New York, but it's my dream destination right now, and I'll take any opportunity to read about it. That's what drew me to the book in the first place. Kelk has a wonderful ability to make her readers really connect to the characters. Everything that Angela goes through, from the horrendous break-up, to the simultaneous dating, to being a newcomer to a huge city is something that many women have been through, therefore they can relate eas

Angela Clark has it all: freelance writing career, loving parents, close female best friend and highschool sweetheart/fiance. That is until she catches said fiance in the arms of another woman at best friend's wedding. And it's not a one time thing. After an impressive throwdown/tantrum she packs a bag and gets on the earliest flight to New York. Not knowing where to go or what to do she checks into the first hotel she sees where the desk clerk takes pity on her and befriends her.

The first 20% of the book was great Carrie Bradshaw meets Beki Bloomwood and honestly I couldn't wait to pick it up. The story of a girl who finds her boyfriend cheating on her at her best friends wedding and runs off to New York to get a make over and find herself. I loved living through her and imagining running away to New York and blowing a mortgage payment in Bloomingdales.

I enjoyed the first 2/3 of this book more than the last 1/3. The plot became very rushed towards the end and the ending left something to be desired. Also Jenny's character can be quite annoying. Much of the dialogue from her and occasionally the other characters seemed too scripted. I didn't believe Jenny really wanted to help others and be the next Oprah. It felt more like the author wanted to write flowery monologues she thought people would think were full of wisdom. Also the whole Jenny/Jef

New York is my most favourite city in the whole world. I‘ve seen it so many times in movies and read about it in different books. My whole life I knew that I would love it and when I finally went there 2 years ago, I realised that I loved it even more than I‘ve imagined…
That is why I can understand Angela‘s decision of going to New York to escape from her crappy life in London so well. It felt like going to New York with her all the time I was reading the book!

This book was just okay. I got it from a friend who got it free as an add-on to her Glamour UK magazine (across the pond, when you buy a magazine from a newstand, it is often wrapped with something else. Flip flops, a tee shirt, etc. This time it was a book). She said she couldn't finish it because it was dumb. I nearly had the same problem, but I did finish it because I felt like I had to.

Whilst some of the reviews on here have criticised this book for being unoriginal, brand name-dropping, and irritating, I have to say I loved it. This book will never be a literary classic or an example of fantastic writing but I thoroughly enjoyed it. As an English Lit student this book was exactly what I needed to escape the complicated world of the classics and enter a world of fun, materialism and spontaneity.
