Edie Amos may have lost the love of her life, but she canโt lose this apartment. Sure her journalist boyfriend has taken a dangerous assignment overseas, leaving Edie without a second thought. But a sunny two-bedroom apartmentโwith a balconyโ doesnโt come easy in Manhattan. So Edie is embarking on a more hazardous mission: posting in the classifieds for the perfect roommate.
