Description

Dubbed one of the summer's hottest beach reads by People, Glamour, Cosmo, and the Weekend "Today" show, Tabloid Love introduces Bridget Harrison, an almost thirty-year-old Brit and rookie reporter for the New York Post. While her London friends begin to marry, Bridget chases her dream of becoming a hard-news journalist. But just as she perfects the art of interviewing strangers about ghoulish crimes, she discovers that finding a mate seems impossible in the ultimate singles city. Then Bridget lands her very own Post dating column, and half a million New Yorkers read about her weekly romantic disasters. Whether covering celebrity parties in the Hamptons or struggling to hide her inter-office crush, Bridget retains her humor and humility.

Praise for Tabloid Love

"A delicious treat for a sunny afternoon. Vivid, pacey, and very funny."
—Times (London)

"Harrison is . . . deeply likeable . . . It's hard not to hope that she gets everything she wants: literary stardom, the gorgeous apartment, the equally gorgeous boyfriend—and more."
—People

"[Harrison] is gutsier and funnier than Bridget [Jones] but just as socially and fashionably inept. And she resolves to get to the bottom of why it's so damn difficult to meet a good man in New York, with some truly laugh-out-loud twists."
—Cosmo UK

"A frank, funny memoir of dating in New York."
—Glamour

Opening Lines (Experimental)

The taxi turned a corner, and suddenly we were on Pike Street. The Manhattan Bridge was right in front of us, bathed in orange sunset, arching across the East River to Brooklyn.
"No, no, this isn't right! What the hell are we doing here?" I shouted, shoving my head through the gap in the cabbie's ...
