I Heart New York

City of Aspirations

In I Heart New York, Lindsey Kelk whisks readers across the Atlantic to the dazzling streets of Manhattan, where dreams are as towering as the skyscrapers themselves. First published by Harper in 2009, this effervescent romantic comedy follows party-planner extraordinaire Angela Clark as she exchanges her London flat for a swanky New York apartment—and promptly realizes she may have bitten off more than she can chew. Kelk captures the exhilaration of first impressions: the kaleidoscope of yellow cabs, the glittering Broadway marquees, and the promise of reinvention that pulses through every avenue.

Love in the Concrete Jungle

As Angela navigates oversized New York rent bills, subway mishaps, and the culture clash of American office life, she also contends with two very different—but equally irresistible—men. There’s charming British expatriate David, whose quick wit and shared accent feel like home, and the effortlessly confident New Yorker, Tyler, whose Broadway ambitions and dogged optimism light up Angela’s world. Between impromptu rooftop parties and brunches in SoHo cafés, she learns that love in the city that never sleeps can be as unpredictable as a yellow taxi’s honk—but infinitely more thrilling.

Finding One’s True Home

More than a globe-trotting love story, I Heart New York is a celebration of self-discovery and the courage to start anew. Angela’s journey teaches us that home is where your heart feels most alive—whether that’s a familiar friend, an unexpected romance, or the exhilarating hum of a foreign metropolis. Harper’s 2009 edition, adorned with its vibrant skyline cover art, invites both armchair travelers and hopeless romantics to fall headfirst into a tale of ambition, laughter, and the magic of second chances.
