Animated adventure spin-off of the 2010 hit film 'How to Train Your
Dragon'. While the town of Berk is getting ready for its annual
winter holiday known as Snoggletog, Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel)
discovers an island of dragons and sets out to explore.
Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn't even begun . . .
Franny meets Hayes in the opposite of a meet-cute - when her dress
gets caught in the subway doors on her way home and then rips,
leaving her in the fashion equivalent of a hospital gown. Hayes is
the stuffy suit whose one redeeming quality is giving Franny his
jacket, saving her from showing her assets to half of New York.
Franny is eager to forget the whole horribly embarrassing encounter
as soon as possible, but neither of them anticipated a fellow
commuter live-blogging them as #subwaybaes - turning their awkward
run-in into click-bait and a manufactured love story for the ages .
. . Quick to dismiss Hayes as just another a rich guy, Franny is
sure she'll never see him again, and she's desperate to put her
three minutes of viral fame behind her. But fate isn't done with
the would-be subway sweethearts just yet . . . A love letter to
romance, friendship and the Big Apple, Kate Spencer's In a New York
Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The
Flat Share, Our Stop and One Day in December. 'Spencer writes with
a wry lilt and a gift for dialogue. The novel is as much a
love-letter to New York City as any Nora Ephron screenplay, an ode
to sticky days in Central Park . . . and the serendipity that can
crash into you in a city that big and bustling.' - Entertainment
Weekly
Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn’t even begun . . .
Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She’s been sacked, the subway
doors ripped her favorite dress to ruins, and now she’s flashed her
unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing
stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the down
side, he can’t get away from her fast enough.
Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online.
Suddenly Franny and her rescuer, Hayes Montgomery, are the newest
social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping the #SubwayQTs.
Only Franny and Hayes couldn’t be a more disastrous match. She’s
talkative, and creative. He’s serious, shy, and all about numbers. Yet
somehow, Hayes and Franny keep running into each other. It seems fate
isn't done with the subway sweethearts just yet . . .
Kate Spencer’s In a New York Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic
comedy for fans of The Flatshare, Our Stop and One Day in December.
Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead
Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling
through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This
isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look
at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the
other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how
losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men
and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of
this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even
concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers
(like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to
nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).
