ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Andrea Meyer has written for such publications as Variety, Interview, Fitness, Glamour, the Daily News and the popular film Web site indieWIRE. Four years ago, after getting evicted from her apartment, Andrea wrote a story for the New York Post for which she pretended to be looking for a roommate as a ploy to meet guys. The article was the inspiration for ROOM FOR LOVE.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Room for Love is based on an article the author wrote for the New York Post, for which she pretended she was looking for a roommate as a ploy to meet men. In the fictional version, Jacquie Stuart-- struggling writer, East Village apartment owner, cinemaniac, dog lover, yogini, commitment-phobe in chronic pursuit of a commitment-phobe--takes a break from writing celebrity puff pieces to make some cash. She pitches a story to a glossy women's magazine proposing using the real-estate ads as a hot new dating scheme. When her editor insists that she do the research herself, Jacquie finds herself on a romantic rollercoaster ride that takes her to the dingier digs of the Upper Eastside, the brownstones of Brooklyn and the slums of the Lower Eastside. In a story that brings together two New York obsessions--romance and real estate--one woman is forced to question the shaky foundations of the bed she has made, and wonder if maybe searching for happiness in other people's homes is the wrong way to find Mr. Right.
"Room for Love offers a laugh-out-loud funny, sizzling yet soulful urban story of sex and square feet." -Susan Shapiro, author of Five Men Who Broke My Heart
"With writing that glitters like the NYC skyline itself, it's a smart urban romp that'll have everyone calling Meyer the downtown Candace Bushnell." -Erin Torneo, coauthor of The Bridal Wave: A Survival Guide to the Everyone-I-Know-Is-Getting-Married Years
