The Manhattan Mishap
Margot Moss, a gregarious and witty woman, lives her life with abandon. She knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to pounce after it with full-throttle ferocity. Although, she can’t quite seem to get it right.
When a coveted promotion falls through, Margot finds herself struggling to actualize her dreams and is forced to reconsider her so-called fabulous future. However, when one catwalk ends, another begins. A job in New York City comes knocking and Margot doesn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity, setting out on a wild adventure towards love, success, and self-discovery.
Unfortunately, nothing is how she imagined it—not the company, the city, or the people. Awaiting Margot is a drama-addicted boss who may or may not be out to get her, and a whirlwind of wealthy men, scams, and scandals. Caught in a cotton candy cloud of sparkling rosé, Margot determinedly navigates her (many) dilemmas with the help of her saucy friends and a healthy dose of buzz-worthy gossip.
Yet, as if that weren’t enough, Margot’s life is made even more complicated when a steamy new beau enters the picture—and even he isn’t what he seems.
Overflowing with fashion and champagne bubbles, The Manhattan Mishap is a hilarious, stylish, and heartfelt novel that oozes confidence and reminds us that leopards never truly change their spots.

Fun and engaging read! Likeable (and unlikeable) characters. I only had to google the name of 1 fashion designer and 1 model.

Finished this in a single sitting while flying home for Christmas, and damn, what a way to kick off the holidays!
If your idea of a fabulous night is getting cocktails with your friends at the trendiest spot in the city and sitting down to dissect everyone's latest professional and romantic dramas, then you will *love* this book. Reading this feels like an intimate conversation with your gorgeous friend Margot, hearing all about her escapades and rooting her on because ultimately, you know that she has what it takes to come out on top. In short, this book is delightfully paced and simply a lot of fun. There's enough drama to keep you hooked, enough sass to make you laugh, and yet still easy going enough to be an enjoyable beach read.
The Manhattan Mishap has more of a career focus than a pure romance focus, which I love! This is about a hard working woman on a mission! That being said, there are still some steamy scenes in this book to serve as the cherry on top. And although the title implies that this is solely set in New York City, this chick lit masterpiece is also a love letter to Toronto, a city I know and love. Of course, I also vicariously enjoyed the escape to NYC and all the iconic wining and dining Margot gets up to. All in all, this feels like a night out on the town. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy of the Manhattan Mishap!

This book will keep you laughing. I felt sorry for Margot and wanted her to punch her “new boss.” Fast read! Would recommend.
