Audrey Bellezza's Emma of 83rd Street drops Jane Austen's iconic matchmaker into the bustling, well-heeled world of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Our Emma is a charming, slightly bored grad student who fancies herself a master of coupling, much to the exasperation of her childhood friend and neighbor, the ever-so-sensible George Knightley. You'll find yourself smiling through Emma's well-intentioned but often chaotic attempts to arrange everyone's love lives but her own, all while navigating the quirks of modern New York dating. This is a genuinely witty and lighthearted read, full of sparkling banter and the kind of slow-burn romance that makes your heart ache just a little. It's perfect for anyone who loves a contemporary romance that truly captures the spirit of a classic, wrapped in a charming, feel-good package with delightful characters.
