Fantastically funny, fresh and utterly relatable, Brooklyn
Girls is a charming debut by Gemma Burgess & the first novel
in her brand new series about five twenty–something
friends discovering the ups and downs and ins and outs of
their "semi–adult" lives. Pia, Angie, Julia, Coco and Madeleine share a brownstone in
hip, downtown Brooklyn and this first novel in the series
focuses on sophisticated, spoiled, and stylish Pia, who
finds herself completely unemployed, unemployable, and
broke. So what is a recent grad with an art history degree
and an unfortunate history of Facebook topless photos to do?
Start a food truck business of course! Pia takes on the
surprisingly cutthroat Brooklyn world of hybrid lettuce
growers, artisanal yogurt makers and homemade butter
producers to start SkinnyWheels—all while dealing with
hipster bees, one–night–stands, heartbreak,
parental fury, wild parties, revenge, jail, loan sharks,
playboys, karaoke, true love, and one adorable pink food
truck. And that's without counting her roommates' problems,
too. Gemma Burgess has captured the confusion, hilarity and
excitement of the post–graduate years against a
backdrop of the pressures and chaos of New York City life,
with heartfelt empathy, fast humor and sharp honesty.
