Ana Takes Manhattan

By: Lissette Decos

Narrated by: Inés del Castillo

Fans of Abby Jimenez and Alexis Daria will love this novel about one New York City woman skilled in producing swoon‑worthy reality TV shows but whose own life is a mess, with nothing ever going according to plan.

As a reality TV producer, Ana Karina orchestrates extravagant marriage proposals that always (well, mostly) go as planned. When they don’t, she’s not afraid to cut and paste scenes to make the moment picture-perfect. If only Ana’s own life was as simple to direct. Her colleagues are getting promotions. Her best friend and her younger sister are both getting married. Everyone is moving forward—except Ana.

Sick of feeling stuck, she decides to start living with no regrets. She’s going to pitch all her ideas at work, no matter how unlikely. She’ll take a chance on a guy even if he doesn’t check all her boxes for Mr. Right. Soon, she’s swept up in a roller coaster of exhilarating dates—a comedy show, a Jane Austen reenactment, a rave pool party, and a whirlwind trip to Vienna. With all this excitement, Ana should be on her way to her own happily-ever-after, but instead her life is getting messier by the second.

Yet throwing caution to the wind may still bring Ana more than she hoped for as she begins to listen to her heart and realizes the life—and man—truly meant for her might be the one she never saw coming.

Great story …

Loved how the fun story tackled the difficulty of dating. Loved how the story ended. Would definitely read more from this author.

Sweet, funny and very refreshing

I highly recommend this book - extremely relatable characters, sweet twist on romance and all the craziness involved in THAT, and descriptive settings that place you right there along with them.

Real

I love it so much, sad when it finished, definitely a happy ever after, I didn’t want it to end!

Amazing!

Wow! What a great book! I was engaged the whole time. The narrator really brings the story to life but the character Ana she is one of the best main characters I’ve read so far in romantic novels. I really enjoy her job aspect of the story as well. It’s just a really good book and you need to listen/read it.
