This Will Be
New York City, Summer of ’77. The city is hot and only getting hotter. Crime is up, Son of Sam is on the loose and a citywide blackout kicks off riots. And yet - everything about the city buzzes with life and new beginnings.
New York book editor Connie Pell stands at an open office window contemplating the jump. And from this moment, three lives collide in ways they never could have imagined -
Jamie Brennan is a 28-year-old writer who spends her days working in a bookstore and dreaming of something more. She recently signed a big-break publishing deal for her new novel that could change her life. But a secret from her past threatens everything. Including her sanity. She kissed a woman on Christopher Street one snowy night, and that kiss had consequences.
Jamie's world is upended when she meets her new Book Editor. Penny Langston a beautiful, British, married, publishing world sensation. Penny has the world at her feet, with more success than she knows what to do with, but a longing for something more and an attraction to women she can’t shake.
And then there's Jamie's unlikely love interest - Bridget Dwyer, 20, a feisty Belfast beauty in combat boots, determined to make a new life in New York City and escape from the violence back home in Northern Ireland. But what has Bridget done in the name of love back home and why is there an IRA hitman after her?

A very entertaining read that was humorous as well as dark and poignant. A love story triangle set spot on in the late 1970s NYC. Ironically, I was reading this book while in the actual location of the story settings - fast forwarded four decades. Life issues, family issues, marriage issues, relationship issues all intertwined. Not going to give details to the story, only that it read well, the dialogue was crisp and the story moved quickly. Highly recommend.

The story is touching on a sense of deep emotion.
The strange thing about emotion is that it runs deep. I was captivated by the depth of this story. Sadly not everyone is happy as happiness is like. The story is true but not in a true story type. It's the emotion and ones battle with depression.
