Synopsis

In the tradition of Sophie Kinsella and Lauren Weisberger comes this charming debut about a young woman who moves to Manhattan in search of romance and excitement, only to find that her apartment is haunted by the cantankerous ghost of an old beatgeneration writer, who needs her help in finishing his lifes work. For Eve Weldon, moving to Greenwich Village is a dream come true. She grew up listening to stories of her mothers time there during the bohemian era of the sixties, when she immersed herself in a lively community of artists and writers. But when Eve finally arrives, the only writer she meets is a cranky ghost named Donald, and the only writing she manages to do is for a morning news show called Smell the Coffee. The competitive environment of the network is a far cry from the congenial camaraderie of the literary scene in her mothers day, and Eve begins to wonder if the world she sought has disappeared entirely. But as she struggles to balance her new job, a budding friendship with a legendary fashion designer, and a search for clues to her mothers past, she starts to realize that community can come in all different forms and that the true magic of Greenwich Village is eternal, though it may sometimes reveal itself in the most unexpected ways.

Cuando empecé a leer este libro esperaba otra cosa, pero al final ha acabado gustándome la historia. A lo largo de todo el libro conocemos a su protagonista y su vida en Nueva York, pasamos por altibajos, momentos duros y momentos dulces. Le pongo tres estrellas porque en algunas partes se me ha hec......more

Goodreads review by Laurie on June 08, 2011

Based on the description- a ghost! Greenwich Village in the early 60s! Beat Generation artists! I thought this book would be right up my alley. But sixty or so pages in, I was getting very dismayed. I was finding it very hard to care about the protagonist, Eve, or, for that matter, anyone else inclu......more

Goodreads review by Mookie on June 06, 2019

It's been awhile since I've felt so annoyed by a book and it's characters.. Too many stolen plot ideas thrown into the mix. Belabored writing. Insufferable girl who really needs some situational awareness.......more

Goodreads review by Sara on July 14, 2012

Ok. I have to be honest. This isn't a book that I would think to recommend to people because I struggled through it. Here's the thing. I didn't like Eve. I don't like people like Eve. People like Eve are people who have a hard time adjusting to the real world. Now, never having lost a parent I can't......more
