[with] all the makings of a Nora Ephron classic. --<i>Vogue</i> <p/>*One of NPR's Best Books of 2018*<br>*One of <i>Washington Post</i>'s 50 Notable Works of Fiction in 2018* <p/>From the acclaimed author of <i>The Assistants</i> comes a delightful romantic comedy about falling in love--and finding yourself--in the heart of New York City.</b> <p/><i>When it comes to Cassidy, Katie can't think straight.</i> <p/>Katie Daniels, a twenty-eight-year-old Kentucky transplant with a strong set of traditional values, has just been dumped by her fiancé when she finds herself seated across a negotiating table from native New Yorker Cassidy Price, a sexy, self-assured woman wearing a man's suit. While at first Katie doesn't know what to think, a chance meeting later that night leads them both to the Metropolis, a dimly lit lesbian dive bar that serves as Cassidy's second home. <p/>The night offers straight-laced Katie a glimpse into a wild yet fiercely tight-knit community, one in which barrooms may as well be bedrooms, and loyal friends fill in the spaces absent families leave behind. And in Katie, Cassidy finds a chance to open her heart in new ways. Soon their undeniable chemistry will push each woman to confront what she thinks she deserves--and what it is she truly wants.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Love comes when we least expect it. . .
