Fabulous book. I have read Paullina Simon’s earlier novels, Tully, Red Leaves and Eleven Hours, but haven’t read any of the Tatiana and Alexander trilogy.

The Girl In Times Square was my favourite book out of all the books I read in 2006 (and I read a LOT!!). I was absolutely gripped from beginning to end. One thing – PLEASE can we have a sequel?!

The book tells the story of Lily Quinn, a young girl who has a stroke of very good luck, and a stroke of very bad luck coming her way. Also, her best friend Amy McFadden goes missing, and Lily finds her life getting entangled with the life of the Detective investigating the case.

I’m happy to see Ms Simons writing in the contemporary for a change. It’s a nice departure from all the historical novels she has been churning out.
