Uptown Girl

From the bestselling author of The First Wives´ Club and Young Wives, a sparkling New York comedy about making plans for other people – and then tripping yourself up in them. There´s something magical about Brooklyn boy Billy Nolan. It´s not just that he´s wickedly attractive, it´s that any woman he dates and dumps (and he dates and dumps them all) immediately goes on to marry someone else. Sassy, uptown New Yorker Kate is immune to Billy´s charms – she left Brooklyn behind a long time ago, and she´s not about to fall under the spell of a handsome waster from the old neighbourhood. Besides, she´s dating the eminently suitable Michael. But perhaps the ´Billy effect´ will work for Kate´s friend, Bina, who has fallen apart because her almost-fiancé, Jack, is going away to ´explore his singleness´. All Kate has to do is get Billy to date Bina and dump her – and then await Jack´s return and watch the magic happen. It´s a great plan and at first it seems to be working. But the one thing Kate hasn´t considered is how Billy feels about it all…
