Holly Would Dream
If you like Sex & the City and Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I am re-reading right now at the pool), you have to check out Karen Quinn's new book, Holly Would Dream.
Karen -- who also wrote the bestseller The Ivy Chronicles -- is a very cool lady and I wanna be just like her when I grow up. :-)
Actress Heather Graham says of her new book: "Funny, romantic, and absolutely charming like the classic Audrey Hepburn movies of the 1950s."
Congrats, Karen! You rock!

Summary: Holly Would Dream
Holly Ross often wishes she lived in a simpler time, when the clothes were glamorous, the men debonair, and the endings happy. That said, her career as a fashion historian isn't so bad. With both a wedding and a big promotion coming up, her own happily ever after seems assured.
So how, in the space of one day, does it all go wrong? How does she end up homeless, jobless, penniless, and fiancé-less? Why is she cruising the Mediterranean in hot pursuit of real estate tycoon Denis King? And why, for heaven's sake, is she chasing down a suitcase full of stolen Audrey Hepburn gowns?
With the sparkling Mediterranean and the eternal city of Rome as the backdrops, Holly's adventures begin to resemble one of the 1950s Hollywood gems she so adores. Finally she must choose between her long-held fairy tale fantasy and a new, real-life dream with an ending she couldn't possibly imagine.
