Remember the world before iPhones, Ubers, and Netflix-on-demand? It's 2004 in Manhattan and real estate is the driving factor behind most relationship decisions. Only here can strangers go from roommates to friends to lovers, in less time than it takes a co-op board to approve a purchase. Robin Cromwell is in desperate need of a roommate. She's lucked into a rent-controlled classic-six on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but her best friend is moving, and she can't afford to live there on her own.Jessica Barlowe is counting the days until she moves in with her boyfriend in his renovated one-bedroom co-op. That is until she walks in on him with another woman and all her plans, including where she's going to live, disappear into thin air.Tory Wallace is determined to move out from under her abhorrent parents' roof, even if that roof is covering a $50 million brownstone on the Upper East Side. Although Tory hasn't spent much time thinking about being self-sufficient, the tension at home has reached a boiling point, and she's got to get out. Zach Sullivan is a successful technology executive, living in a modernized pre-war two-bedroom on West 78th Street. He'd never planned on renting out his spare bedroom, but a chance encounter results in an impulsive offer that will change his life forever.An Upper West Side Story is an engaging and heartwarming story about love, friendship, and that time in life when friends are family and drinks at a dive bar in Manhattan can solve all your troubles.

It should have been the best summer of their lives - unfortunately, life doesn't always go according to plan.Summer in the Hamptons should be filled with cocktails by the pool, bonfires on the beach, and sunset clam bakes. Instead, Nora, Megan, and Courtney are battling dreadful blind dates, duplicitous roommates, and blackmailing ex-boyfriends.Nora recently moved into her newly constructed dream home on Dune Road. She sold her company in a legendary eight-figure deal and now has unlimited time and money to spend however she chooses. But sadly, she's alienated friends and family on her rise to the top and now finds herself all alone when things may be at their worst.Megan has let a dangerous situation spiral out of control and needs a chance to clear her head and regroup. Her plans for a post-graduation trip have fallen apart, and the closest thing she has to a family is inconveniently using the summer to relocate. So, when Megan gets a last-minute offer for a guest house in Westhampton Beach, she jumps at the chance, even though her hostess is a stranger, and it's only a temporary solution to a persistent problem.Courtney just graduated from college and simultaneously lost the two things that defined her - collegiate basketball and her best friend turned boyfriend. She desperately needs a change of scenery to recover and mend her broken heart, which is why Courtney takes the leap when the opportunity to spend two months in the Hamptons falls in her lap, even though the classmate who invited her is barely more than an acquaintance.When a series of disastrous events transpire, Nora, Megan, and Courtney band together and find solace in their unlikely friendship. While it's a far cry from the respite they each imagined, this improbable trio may not be too late to enjoy an unforgettable summer on Dune Road.

The second heartfelt and inspirational story of Rachel Cullen's marathon journey with mental health. Perfect for readers who enjoyed Bryony Gordon's Mad Girl and Mike Carter's One Man And His Bike.
