Book description
Jane Shore, flippant and world-weary heroine, lives in New York City,
works in PR and is officially Ugly On The Inside. An unpromising
encounter with a bitter stranger, who shouts at her, 'Did anyone ever
tell you that you re ugly? Ugly on the inside,' sets the scene for the
next few months of her life. As if Ugly On The Inside wasn't bad enough,
Jane's being sidelined at work by the ambitious fashion-victim Lee
Munroe; her West Village apartment's being sold; her cousin Frances is
going out with her megalomaniac boss; and she s still single &- the
gorgeous Guy Weaver being taken already. Is it time for Jane to
acknowledge that the Holy Trinity of job, house and man might not pan
out quite how she expected? Is it time for her to accept Mr
Not-quite-right, a Brooklyn postcode, and that she's reached the
less-than-lofty ceiling of her PR career? Trendy but Casual takes the
reader on a madcap ride through the PR scene of hip-hoperas and porn
entrepreneurs, and the bars and clubs of Manhattan in Jane s search for
love and success.
