✦ Synopsis


Lane Silverman’s got two problems:

1. She’s in love with love.

2. No matter how hard she works, as a freelance writer, she ain’t makin’ it.

Determined to see her byline in the big magazines, she comes up with the perfect article pitch. But it isn’t easy, and before too long, Lane’s thoughts run where they always do: to meeting her Prince Charming and contemplating what flavor sorbet he’ll be feeding her from a silver spoon in a first class seat on the way to Paris when she does. Her ridiculous fairy-tale bred expectations have kept her single, but she isn’t ready to hear it. Then fate lands Lane’s mind on the perfect idea to address both her lack of love and income: she'll get a job in finance, where all the men are off to in the mornings, with the express purpose of finding a man to live happily ever after with and chronicle her findings. She's ecstatic when Cosmopolitan buys her idea. But before long her editor turns Lane’s article into an impossible feat that tests every romantic ideal she’s ever held dear. And her Cosmo editor isn’t the only one testing Lane’s values: when she finally finds her perfect man, one who appears to fit every ridiculous specification she’s ever held dear, it just might turn out to be her worst nightmare. Does true love even exist? She’d better find out soon, or all her dreams will come crashing down in one mortifying, career-ending, apartment-evicting, lonely-old-lady-with-all-the-birds, heap.

Enjoy this special commemorative eBook second edition — released in celebration of Diary of a Working Girl’s People’s Choice-nominated feature film adaptation, Beauty & the Briefcase, starring Hilary Duff. At the end, a bonus chapter catches up with Lane eight months after the story ends. You won’t believe what she’s up to now, and who she’s up to it with...

“This is so much fun!” - #1 New York Times Bestseller, Nora Roberts

"Readers will simply love Lane and her wild imagination." —Booklist

Coming soon: New eBook edition of Daniella Brodsky’s hilarious comedy, Princess of Park Avenue.

“If you liked ‘Mean Girls,' you'll get a kick out of Brodsky's book.”
—Farrah Weinstein, New York Post

“Princess of Park Avenue is a delicious self-indulgent treat right up there with a leisurely soak in an aromatherapy infused bubble bath with scented candles…It would be cliché to say that Princess is a ‘good read' but truth be told, it's not only good, it's fabulously fantastic.” — Karen Marie Shelton, HairBoutique.com

“Daniella Brodsky…charms us with her second novel…Princess of Park Avenue is an entertaining and amusing book that will remind any of us who have find ourselves lost in a relationship with a man that the real ‘us’ still exists and we only have to look in order to find her.” — Amie Taylor, Bookreporter.com

From Booklist

Lane Silverman is a freelance writer, but most of her work is published in magazines no one's heard of. Determined to make it to the big magazines, she brainstorms for the perfect article to pitch. It's not easy. Lane has difficulty concentrating as her thoughts run where they always run: to meeting her Prince Charming and what she 'll be wearing when she does. Her flighty, romantic nature is what's kept her single. Then Lane comes up with the perfect idea: she'll get a real job with the express purpose of finding a man to live happily ever after with and then chronicle her findings. She's ecstatic when Cosmopolitan likes her idea, and when she lands a job as an assistant for a financial company, she's dumbfounded by the sheer number of men surrounding her. Again, things aren't as simple as she thinks they'll be, especially when she's sidetracked by the perfect man, one who doesn't work at her company! Readers will simply love Lane and her wild imagination. Maria Hatton
