Ana Takes Manhattan
Ana Takes Manhattan | Lissette Decos
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
Fans of Abby Jimenez and Alexis Daria will love this novel about one New York City woman skilled in producing swoon?worthy reality TV shows but whose own life is a mess, with nothing ever going according to plan. Ana Karina loves her job—though she isn't quite where she thought she'd be by now. As reality tv producer, she orchestrates extravagant marriage proposals that always (read: mostly) go as planned. If they don't, she’s not afraid to cut and paste scenes to perfection afterward. Even if her arrogant film editor isn't a fan. But what does he know about romance anyway? If only Ana's love life was as simple as fixing botched engagements. She's sick and tired of guys who give her the ick. Open?toed sandals? Gross. Mr. Casual. No, thanks. Wears a toupe? Cut! Ana's got a mile?long list of all the cringey things to steer clear of. And Ana loves lists. Her to?dos for her best friend's wedding, show ideas to pitch, and even her list of what she does want in Mr. Right. With only four requirements, why is it taking so long to find him? She refuses to put her life on hold waiting. She’ll just date four men who each embody one quality. Never mind them lacking in other departments. Yet as she finds the Prince Charming in every frog, she also gets closer to facing who she’s avoided for years. Herself.

What a fun romp! The author is a reality TV producer herself, and her first hand knowledge of the industry adds to the story. The men Ana dates are all fun to get to know, and I really loved her friendship with her best friend Gia. I liked how the author showed that friendship has multiple sides, the good and the bad. But what I really liked was seeing how Ana grew as a person, not only in her love life, but in her career as well.
