Audrey Princeton moves to New York City after college to pursue her dreams of gracing the Broadway stage, but quickly learns that the city that never sleeps is not just a dream come true but also a nightmare when underestimated. Quick on her feet, Audrey does what is necessary to stay in New York, creating a princess party company that will supplement her income as she struggles to become a successful actress.
"Party Girl," a work of fiction, is loosely based on author, Erin Shaw’s experience navigating life in the Big Apple and gives readers a hilarious and fascinating look into the lives of twenty-something’s living in New York City during the recession. “This is one of those books you pick up and read by the pool – light, funny, sweet and charming all at once. The author doesn’t take herself too seriously and is willing to get caught up in the modern fairytale of it all. The characters are relatable and the romances are reminiscent of past relationships most of us have had. Plus, it was just fun to get a glimpse into the life of a girl fighting to make it in New York, willing to don even a princess dress to pull that feat off. Some of the parents she deals with will leave you cringing, and at times you will be wishing Audrey would just grow up and figure herself out already, but then you remember – these things take time. And there is a beauty to be found in that process.” - Leah Campbell (Author) |
