Resumen del Editor

A fabulous Fifth Avenue apartment. The world of luxury real estate sales and a cutthroat co-worker. A charismatic boss and an intriguing next-door neighbor… It also takes place during the holidays and has the feel-good warmth of a Hallmark movie.

Thirty-year-old Sophie has longed to live in Manhattan but could never afford to do so—even with roommates. She has just been laid off from a job that she didn't love.

When her 92 year-old great aunt invites her to stay with her for a while—in her Fifth Avenue Apartment, Sophie jumps at the chance to move to the city. She decides to temp for a while to find out what industry she wants to go to next as she is burned out from the stress of working at a law firm.

Meanwhile her aunt is playing match-maker with their very attractive neighbor, Max. Although he has been dating a supermodel for the past year, so he goes firmly into the friend zone.

Much to Sophie's surprise, after temping as a receptionist in a luxury real estate agency, she discovers she has an aptitude for it and is offered a chance to move into sales. She's nervous about all commission and declines the opportunity.

But then life happens, bringing some big changes, and she reconsiders.

She falls in love with the work although it is challenging and things don't always go as expected. She also has to deal with a jealous, cutthroat co-worker and the flattering attention of their charismatic and brilliant boss. Sophie has a lot to learn about real estate, navigating toxic co-workers and what she wants in a relationship.

Escape to the East again with Pamela Kelly.

Smooth delivery and ease of
following story line. It’s fun with her books especially when they’re on the East coast in places I’ve lived or visited.!

Sweet and boring

A sweet feel-good story, but it lacked depth. I wasn’t able to sink into the book or connect with the characters. Everything was too pristine, including the antagonist who wasn’t as cut-throat as eluded to in the book summary.
All in all, meh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Loved the story

Wonderful narrator, loved the content and all the mentions of food and wine. Love cooking shows and the fell in line

easy read

I love all of Pamela M Kelly's books. Loved the New York setting, character development and flow.
Easy, light, read

Meh!

A brainless book to fall asleep to. Pretty basic. Not a mindful book. Just a pleasant story.

Boring and narrator is bad

I had high hopes for this book and purchased it the day it came out on Audible. It was so boring. No plot and no really developed characters. It is about new real estate agent who is successful almost from the start. This is my least favorite of Pamela M. Kelley’s books. I’m glad that it wasn’t very long, because it was boring. I don’t know why Pamela keeps using Leslie Howard as her narrator. She narrates in a wistful manner the entire time. And she never changes her inflection. I would not recommend this book.
