21
Steps to Happiness (Red Dress Ink)
Dropped
into a ridiculously cushy job in Paris by her distant fashion-icon
mother, all Lynn has to do to prove she's not a fraud (which she is!)
is to figure out what exactly her job is, how she got involved in
something that can only be described as fashion treason and how to
untangle her love life in time to make Muriel B's next runway show
the event of the season.
But with time running short and expertise running low, Lynn has little
to guide her but a self-help manual that promises twenty steps to
happiness.
Written by a fashion insider, 21 Steps to Happiness
is a dishy must-read whose narrator boldly and hilariously goes where
no young American in Paris has gone before - behind the seams.
"Chick
Lit: I’m a big fan of this genre, and the humor, outrageousness
and great characters made Francisco G. Gerson’s “21 Steps to Happiness”
the best of the year in my mind without a question. Lynn’s tale
of finding herself working the bohemian world of Paris fashion and
finding unexpected romance, cannot be put down (I stayed up all
night to read it) and just begs for a trip to the big screen."
A look at the best books of the year by genre
- Amy Mendenhall, Parkersburg News and Sentinel.
"Francisco
Gerson evokes Paris beautifully and he's got an eye for detail that
elevates his descriptions of the fashionista lifestyle from the
cliché to the insightful. [... His] book is an absorbing read. For
a guy writing chick lit, it's not half bad."
Debra Pickett, Chicago Times
"It's
a fun read that will make you want to jump on the next plane to
Paris - or at least eat a croissant."
Kristen Foley - 4 stars - Romantic Times Magazine
"Lynn
... brings freshness to the mix ... Readers will root for her to
find herself, the right man, and kick some fashionable butt on her
quest of 21 STEPS TO HAPPINESS."
