Listen to an Exclusive Excerpt of In a New York Minute!
Hi everyone! Kate here. My debut novel, In a New York Minute, is out today, and to celebrate, I'm giving Forever35 listeners an exclusive listen to the first chapter of the audiobook. I am so grateful for the support listeners have shown me throughout the writing and book-releasing process, and I send you one million eggplant emojis as a token of my gratitude. But for now, please sit back, relax, and enjoy some rom-com vibes courtesy of me, your ol' pal Kate H. Spencer. You can find the full audiobook on Libro.fm, Audible, or any other place you listen to books. Check out the full synopsis below.
If you're in Los Angeles, come to my live event at Chevalier's on Weds, March 16th, at 7pm! I'll be in conversation with friend of the pod, Maurene Goo. And of course please join Doree and me for our virtual book launch celebration on Friday, March 18th. We'll be live in conversation at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST. Register here!
A clever, tender, and romantic "Nora Ephron romp for the modern ages" (Christina Lauren) for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Abby Jimenez, and Sophie Cousens, this laugh-out-loud debut is a perceptive reminder that fate can have a sense of humor and that love can happen...in a New York minute.
Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She’s been laid off from her (admittedly mediocre) job, the subway doors ripped her favorite silk dress to ruins, and now she’s flashed her unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the not-so-plus side, he can’t get away from her fast enough.
Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online. Suddenly Franny and her knight-in-couture, Hayes Montgomery III, are the newest social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping #SubwayQTs.
Only Franny and Hayes couldn’t be a more disastrous match. She’s fanciful, talkative, and creative. He’s serious, shy, and all about numbers. Luckily, in a city of eight million people, they never have to meet again. Yet somehow, Hayes and Franny keep running into each other - and much to their surprise, they enjoy each other’s company. A lot. But when Franny’s whole world is turned upside down (again!), can she find the courage to trust in herself and finally have the life - and love - she’s always wanted?
