My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
I’m a huge Sarah Morgan fan and when I saw that her next series is set in
New York I got really excited. I’m going to NYC soon, so it’s a bit more
special.
The first book of the series is called Sleepless in Manhattan and it follows Paige. Paige has a great life
in NYC, she lives in Brooklyn and loves her job. Her best friends Eva and
Frankie work at the same company, everything is great, until they all lose
their jobs…
Her brother Matt is there to comfort her and with him is his best friend
Jake Romano. Jake is very successful and can help her, he gives her the idea of
how to start over. The problem about that?! It’s Jake, her first love and
forever crush Jake.
Paige fell head over heels for Jake when she was a teenager, but after
she was honest about her feelings to him, he rejected her. Only after a while
in the book, we actually learn why…
The fab thing about this book is that we not only got to see Paige’s side
of the story, but also Jake’s. Yes, he might have had a different woman every
night, but his real feelings are deep and real for only one person. His past
and some other circumstances made him the man he is today and made him reject
Paige. His feelings are still here though.
The two of them get to spend a lot of time now, because Jake is helping
Paige and her friends with their new business. The more time they spend together,
the closer they get and the more they realise that old feelings never die.
I loved reading about the two of them together. In my eyes they are
perfect for each other!!! Their chemistry is electric and Sarah includes some
passionate scenes as well. But where will it lead? What if Paige tells him she
loves him?! How will he react?! Well, read this fabulous story!!!!
We get to explore New York through this story, with Sarah talking about
some fabulous places.
The friendships portrayed in this book are incredible. First of all the
three women, who are inseparable and always there for each other, but also Matt
and Jake being best friends, Matt and Paige as siblings and the five of them as
a group. I want to part of their group please! Fun movie nights, great views on
the balcony, Italian food at Maria Romano’s restaurant, breakfast together and
much more.
I couldn’t put this book down. It might seem like a normal rom com, like
every other, but it’s not! Sarah takes it to a whole new level with her
writing. It’s so vivid, passionate and full of life, I felt like being there
with the characters. I adore the storyline, it flows beautifully and the
characters? Well, every single one of them is awesome! They are all great
personalities and very unique. I can’t wait to dive into book two of the series
and find out what Sarah has in store for the other characters, especially Paige’s
brother Matt.
