About this eBook
A spoiled twentysomething in New York City must find a job or be forced to leave her friends and move in with her parents in this sassy series debut.
Meet Pia.
Sharing a brownstone in New York City with your best friends from college sounds like a dream come true, right? . . . Wrong. It’s a total freaking nightmare.
Meet the Brooklyn Girls.
Pia, Julia, Coco, Madeline, and Angie are starting adult life together. But only spoiled, sophisticated Pia gets fired after topless part pics appear on Facebook. (Oops.) Now she’s unemployed, unemployable, and broke—with a deadline. Get a job, or go live with her parents and leave New York forever.
Who knew adulthood would be so damn grown-up?
Pia takes on hipster bees, one-night stands, heartbreak, parental fury, wild parties, revenge, jail, loan sharks, playboys, karaoke, true love, and one adorable pink food truck, all in her quest to find out what she really wants in life—and how she’s going to get it.
Meanwhile, party-girl Angie’s redefining “crazy in love,” sweet Coco’s longtime love has finally made a move, shy Madeline has discovered her inner bitch, and CEO-in-training Julia wishes she could just go back to college, where life was simple.
Praise for Brooklyn Girls
“I tore through this hilarious book, laughing out loud and realizing more than once that my jaw had dropped open. Gemma has created a witty and wonderful world of surprising modern heroines.” —Joanna Goddard, A Cup of Jo
“Fast, fresh, and very funny . . . the ultimate page-turner for anyone trying to figure out what she wants in lie and how the hell she’s going to get it.” —Kim Gruenfelder, author of Wedding Fever and There’s Cake in My Future
“A sassy summer confection.”—The New York Times
