Book Description
Single mother Ellie Levine’s lifelong goal has been to escape her Queens neighborhood. Not just from nine-to-five, but forever. And now, after years of crappy Seventh Avenue jobs, right as she’s poised to finally sink her Jimmy Choo knock-offs into an eat-your-heart-out position in a Big Fashion House, fate sucks her back to her old Richmond Hill nabe like quicksand. . .and to her old position as Duenna to the Deluded for her two closest friends, whose marriage is seriously on the rocks. Unplugging stopped-up sinks as the super for her grandfather’s rental properties isn’t exactly how she’d envisioned her life. Nor is stitching bridal finery for a horde of Fran Drescher wannabes. But when old flames, and old dreams, begin flickering back to life, maybe the life she thought she wanted isn’t as far off from the life she already has as she’d thought. . . From Author’s website
