** spoiler alert ** Loved this book from the first few pages it kept me interested from start to end. The characters are all relate able in some way. The main character Angela flees to New York after finding out her fiancee is cheating on her at her best friends wedding. In New York she meets a live wire american Jenny who turns out to be her best friend by the end of the story. Jenny throwing Angela into dating so soon after her ex is very amusing. I didn't think much to Tyler so was very pleased when she chose Alex. I loved the first scene between Alex and Angela in a cafe it's like reading about them beginning again. I enjoy reading on how she's saying which Stills album she likes best without realising she's talking to the lead singer and he takes it as feedback, I love how much the focus is on music and adore the quote '' Saying you like all music meant you didn't love any.'' Alex Reid is my favourite book boyfriend character I have read so far and Angela is so relateable to.

I loved everything about this book! I've never been to New York, but it's my dream destination right now, and I'll take any opportunity to read about it. That's what drew me to the book in the first place. Kelk has a wonderful ability to make her readers really connect to the characters. Everything that Angela goes through, from the horrendous break-up, to the simultaneous dating, to being a newcomer to a huge city is something that many women have been through, therefore they can relate easily. My favourite part of the book is actually a quite simple part, right at the beginning, when Jenny brings Angela a cart full of female necessities that she figured she didn't think to grab when she fled the UK. That part made me feel so happy for Angela and thankful that she had someone to take care of her (even though it's fiction). As for the men in her New York life, I was actually surprised that Kelk didn't bring Johnny into the mix a little more, but I was quite happy with reading about her trysts with Alex and Tyler. I'm very much looking forward to reading I Heart Hollywood and I Heart Paris!!

I really enjoyed this book. For a chick-lit, it was pretty hard to put down. The characters were likable and the story was fun. It just happens that all the chick-lits i have read so far have been written by british authors about British characters. This is the same but most of the story takes place in New York so it was a neat surprise to be familiar with the environment. I want to check out some more titles from this author.

Release Date: June 25, 2009 Genre: Chick LitI love Lindey Kelk's books so much! They have just the right amount of humor, fun, and romance to make all chick lit lovers smile! In this book, I Heart New York, readers are taken on a journey with Angela as she runs away from her home town of London to start over after catching her fiance cheating at her best friends wedding. But, what should have been a time of crying an eating her way through Ben and Jerry's in order to get over said breakup, Angela finds herself living the life she always wanted. Two boys to date? Check. A new best friend? Check. A whole new wardrobe AND fabulous purse from Marc Jacobs? Double check. Follow Angela on her journey post breakup in this fantastic novel about starting over and living again. You won't regret it, I know I don't!The heroine of this story (and series - it plays out through a number of books SQUEE) is Angela (as mentioned above) and is a girl that anyone could find themselves easily connected with. She is down to earth (albeit a little naive in the beginning) and a total sweetheart. Had she been a real person, I know I would wish her to be my own best friend. The plot of the story is so much fun! It involves dating, and finding a lot of joy out of life when you didn't think there would be any. I absolutely adored being on the journey with Angela and can't wait to see where she goes next! If you haven't had the chance to visit New York city (I love that city!) you will FEEL like you are there with Angela. The author does a wonderful job describing the shops, the attractions, and all the delicious restaurants that make you drool all over yourself.With that being said, this is a true CHICK LIT novel, and frankly, one of the best ones I have read in quite a while. Sure it was published in 2009, but it is worth the read even if you are one of those who only reads the newer releases. The good news is though that the sixth book in this series (I Heart Forever) is releasing this year! So I vow to read this entire series so I can get my hands on that one as soon as it releases! Fans of chick lit novels and those who enjoy a fun, lighthearted read without all the drama will certainly love this book! I highly recommend it. And, I recommend many of the authors other novels including Always the Bridesmaid and We Were On a Break PS: If you enjoy the Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella this would be the perfect series for you! It reminded me of Kinsella's novels without all the debt :D Rating: 5 stars

This was a really nice light hearted story. It was very enjoyable - slightly predictable, but all round sweet. I was rooting for Alex from the very beginning. What can I say? I'm also a sucker for a boy in a band, with skinny jeans and messy hair. I think I'll need to read I Heart Paris during the summer :)RE READ IN 2018!

Originally Reviewed at Novel EscapesWhat fabulous and fun chick lit! I whipped through I Heart New York, finding it full of laughs and connected with Angela’s character and enjoyed following her as she tried to figure herself out.I Heart New York was such a fun read. I laughed out loud and was fully immersed into Angela’s life. She felt real to me. She had wasn't too ditzy, she had aspirations and I felt her love for the city shine through, along with her confusion about how she ended up there in the first place. I loved the descriptions of the city which made me want to pick up and move there myself. This story moved along at a brisk pace and I couldn’t wait to see where she would end up.The sequel, I Heart Hollywood, was in my reading pile and I had to pick it up immediately to see where Angela’s adventures would take her and the next book in the series, I Heart Paris is out in July and I’m sure I won’t be able to keep my hands off it either. If you loved The Shopaholic series and Sex in the City, you’ll love this wonderful chick lit tale of finding yourself all over again.

At her best friend’s wedding, Angela walks in on her long-term boyfriend Mark cheating on her with someone on the back seat of their car. Nice. So she does what any self-respecting woman would do – flees… not just the wedding, but the country as well! Angela ends up in New York City with no friends, no money and no job.But she soon makes friend with hotel receptionist Jenny and she’s determined to put a smile back on Angela’s face. Cue a LOT of spending in Bloomingdale’s, getting drunk and meeting a couple of hunks along the way too. Angela also lands her dream job of being a writer – it seems everything is going right for her at last. But despite blogging her romance ups and downs, can Angela figure out which man is right for her? Does she heart NYC more than home?I heard about this book quite a while before I got to actually read a copy, so by the time my library had it in for me, I was quite excited to finally read it and see if it lived up to the hype. It’s bright and colourful cover screams out “chick lit” from the shelf, and plot sounds perfect for me too – exactly the sort of thing I really enjoy reading. I’ve been lucky to enough to visit New York (April 05 and December 05), and I still want to go back! I hoped this book would bring back some memories for me, and it definitely did that!The book opens with a hilarious scene, and I hoped this was a sign of the rest of the book to come as well. It had me really laughing out loud, and I immediately loved the character of Angela, she seemed so normal and likeable, you couldn’t help but feel sorry for her being cheated on by love-rat Mark! Luckily for us, this is pretty much all we see of the awful Mark, so thank goodness for that. He’s one of those awful male characters you can hate with a passion but then, that’s the point of him isn’t it?! The other characters were well written as well, I really liked Jenny who despite her calm exterior is really a bit bonkers, Tyler the super-suave businessman was a bit too smooth for me and rock-God Alex who wasn’t my cup of tea but still felt like real people and the relationships between them all were so well done by Kelk.As Angela runs off to New York, this is where the book starts to become slightly unbelievable, and although that isn’t some people’s thing, I actually don’t mind it in a book because I sort of expect everything to be better than it would be in real life! Yes, meeting Jenny and becoming best friends really quickly is unlikely, and yes, meeting 2 gorgeous men and dating both straight away is also unlikely, but it makes for great reading! Angela isn’t sure of anything and the reader can feel her apprehension about the situation yet I still loved it. It made Angela feel normal, and the unlikeliness of the situation yet normality of the lead character made it that bit funnier for me.For anyone who has been to New York City, this book will definitely reignite some memories for you. Kelk writes in great detail about the glorious lights of Times Square, the breath-taking views atop the Empire State Building and the bitter cold as well! I could totally see in my mind where Kelk was writing about for the most part, and I loved reading about the bits I didn’t get to see when I was there as well. In terms of location research, Kelk has clearly done hers meaning its a great read for both visitors and non-visitors of NYC, although it will make you want to go back there!If you like your chick-lit fun, readable and funny, then definitely pick up a copy of I Heart New York! With a great cast of characters, a great location and a brilliant (if idealistic!) storyline, its the perfect summer read, and one I will definitely re-read if I ever make it back to the Big Apple! Also, for those of us who love Angela, fear not – its not the last we’ve seen of her! Kelk has another 2 novels following Angela due out soon, I Heart Hollywood (late 2009) and I Heart Paris (2010) so I can’t wait for those! A full 5 stars from me, a really great book.

This story reminded me of the film, "How to lose a guy in 10 days", as well as TV show, "Sex and The City", and a hint of the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. And what the book, "Sex and the City and Us" should've been.We enter New York with a backpacking, traveling kind of vibe. Although she's not staying in the dingiest of places, she ends up befriending strangers easily. As someone who's travelled alone before, this is believable. It is surprising but true how this happens on the road. The law of attraction is definitely on your side, when it comes to meeting people. This luck was true for Angela. Not just for meeting handsome men, but also for her career.Angela feels like Carrie from "Sex and the City", but from England instead New York. This chick-lit has all the British wit and humour you would expect. In this book, Angela's new editor feels like Andie Anderson's editor from, "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days". Narrator, Cassandra Harwood does an excellent job with the accents, from my perspective anyway.I thought she would meet more men, but I enjoyed the dilemna she had. The characters she meets feel different than anything else, making the story unique. It felt relatable, in the sense that I lived out a crazy single life in my mid-20's too, but in London, instead of New York. Going off to gigs with friends, catching the nightlife and dancing the night away. Every event, gig, and dinner date felt different, and Lindsey Kelk manages to captures this beautifully. My only complaint is that I wanted more! Luckily there's a whole book series to look forward to! Luckily I ended up listening to Lindsey Kelk's book series before the Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series, because;a) the narrator is the same throughout and b) all audible audiobooks were available. I've read a few of Sophie Kinsella's shopaholic books at random instances. I didn't realize the first book was part of a series, and then the 2nd well, it was Christmas! And the 3rd, I attempted to start from the beginning, but couldn't continue listening until I finish book 2, which was a kindle instead of an audible, so I couldn't help jumping ahead, and then stopped myself before I ruin it for myself.The part where this book feels like a shopaholic book, is the handbag splurge, a marc by marc jacobs bag. But that's about it.I was told that I could read the "i heart christmas" book, but I'm glad I started from book 1. It's nice to start this series not knowing anything in advance!

Published: 25/06/2009Author: Lindsey KelkRecommended for: fans of chick litOh I love the 'I Heart' series of books, each of them are amazing and this one does not disappoint! This is the first book that appears in the series where we meet the character of Angela Clark who is funny, relatable, very likeable. In this book Angela moves to New York after she flee's from her wedding, where she meet her new best friend Jenny Lopez (who is the girl you wish was your best friend!) who helps her out about all things New York and before Angela knows it she is dating two (very sexy) men! This book is incredibly well written I love the writing style, the way she can draw the reader into the book and make it feel like the characters are real and that it is actually happening. The descriptions of the characters make them feel very life like and adds a great depth to the book. The description of New York really does just make you want to take off on a planen and go there straight away! I also love the added bit at the back of the book of great places to go in New York which makes it not only an amazing book but also a great little travel guide! This is definately a must read for fans of chick lit novels.

At her best friend's wedding Angela is the perfect bridesmaid, thinking of her fiancé Mark and their upcoming wedding. But things don't go as planned, she has to learn the hard way that her fiancé is cheating on her, makes the bride cry and breaks the grooms hand - all before the first dance. Fleeing to NYC suddenly seems a good idea and soon her new best friend Jenny Lopez gives her a tour of the citythat never sleeps, a makeover and makes her date two different guys. And the best part of it is that she can write about it in her new blog. But it's one thing writing about romantic dilemmas, it's much harder trying to figure them out yourself.This made me laugh out loud from the very beginning. That wedding scene was hilarious. The way this whole story is told is so much fun but had just the right amount of feels. It's the perfect easy read and hard to put down for such a chick-lit. Definitely want to read the next book in this series.

3.5 stars"Sometimes we get so used to not really feeling anything, just going with the flow, that we forget how it feels to be really happy or sad.”"I had always hated how things seemed ever so slightly worse, ever so slightly more insane at night.”"At least some stuff was finally starting to make sense, I had to let go of the past before I could move on to the future."

** 4 WITTY STARS! ** “People go to LA to "find themselves", they come to New York to become someone new.” ** I quite liked this book! I especially loved how I got an image of New York just by reading this and made me want to step on the first plane to the Big Apple and just wing it like Angela did.Just wing it and hope I'll get somewhere, meet new people and get opportunities handed over as if it's a tissue. Man if life were that simple, it'd be great. I finished this fairly quick because it's so fast paced and easy to read, fun, witty yet a little bit irritating at some point because Angela keeps on juggling between two men, eventhough she's made up her mind about who she's into more. That point, however, is really the only issue I have with this story. It's a good choice of a book when you don't know what you're in the mood for or when you're sinking into a slump. Angela is a good character, Jenny Lopez (srsly tho was that necessary) is a great character, Alex is my favourite character and now I'm going to stop using the word "character".Starting from now. Anyway, getting to the point, I did enjoy this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes contemporary and/or chick-lit.
