Review - I'll Take Manhattan by Judith Krantz
The Copy that I Read
Year Published: 1987
Genre: Women's Fiction
Blurb:
Gorgeous, flamboyant Maxi Amberville is twenty-nine and has already discarded three husbands on two continents. Life is a stream of endless pleasure in her lavish Trump Tower apartment--until her widowed mother married a man who plots to sell her father's magazine empire. And Maxi turns her incredible lust for living into a passionate quest for power.
Maxi takes over the small weekly Buttons And Bows. She gathers her hot-blooded ex-husband, sassy daughter and a coterie of the powerful elite. Then, risking all, Maxi creates B&B --the glitziest, ritziest, most successful fashion magazine in the country. Here is a dramatic, sizzling story of love, family, ambition and one unforgettable woman who gives life and love everything she has.

My Take on the Book:
This was an excellent book that I thoroughly enjoyed! One of the things that I really loved about this book was the description of the setting where the book took place. I also found the eras that were spoken about quite fascinating; one character that I would have liked to have read more about is Angelica Amberville - if there had been a sequel with her growing up into an adult I would have really enjoyed it. I ended up giving this leisurely book a five star rating.
Last Word:
This is the first book that I've read from this author, and if I end up getting my hands on some more books of hers, I'll definitely be reading them.
Enjoy,
Carmen.
