I Heart New York

Big Apple Beginnings

In I Heart New York, Lindsey Kelk invites readers to embark on an unforgettable journey through Manhattan’s glittering streets and quiet side alleys. When Pussy Jones, a spirited columnist from London, receives an unexpected invitation to join her best friend on a whirlwind trip to the city that never sleeps, she leaps headfirst into chaos and adventure. Armed with nothing but a suitcase full of shoes and a heart full of hope, Pussy navigates her first subway ride, marvels at towering skyscrapers, and succumbs to the irresistible lure of late-night food trucks. Kelk’s witty prose sparkles with humor and warmth as she captures every taxi-horn blare, every rooftop view at sunset, and every serendipitous encounter that reminds us why New York City remains the ultimate dream destination.

Love, Friendship, and Unexpected Turns

Amid neon lights and Broadway marquees, Pussy crosses paths with Jack Hunter, a charming journalist whose insider knowledge of the city’s hidden gems rivals her own enthusiasm for spontaneous escapitions. As they sample artisanal cupcakes in Brooklyn, hone their people-watching skills in Central Park, and debate the merits of pizza versus bagels under the glow of Times Square, a tentative romance begins to blossom. Yet as the pace quickens—with last-minute auditions, accidental run-ins with celebrities, and the looming threat of a career-making article deadline—Pussy must decide whether to follow her heart or cling to the safety of her London life. Through every misstep, late-night confession, and laundry mishap, Kelk explores the power of friendship to steady us when the ground shifts beneath our feet.

Finding Home in the City of Lights

As Pussy’s New York adventure reaches a dazzling crescendo—complete with a rooftop party overlooking the Empire State Building and a tear-stained farewell at JFK—she discovers that ‘home’ is not a place on the map but a feeling carried in the company of those we love. Lindsey Kelk weaves together moments of laughter and longing, taking readers from cozy cafés in Greenwich Village to art-filled lofts in SoHo, all while reminding us that life’s greatest joys often arrive unannounced. By the time Pussy returns to London, she carries with her not just memories of skyline vistas and yellow cabs, but a renewed sense of possibility and the courage to follow her own path.

. “A sparkling romantic comedy that captures the heart of New York and the transformative power of friendship, love, and finding your place in the world,” writes Lindsey Kelk’s description.
