"Fans of Sex and the City and those wanting to suspend disbelief to enjoy a easy, drama-filled read set in New York City will no doubt enjoy this novel."
The first year living in the Big Apple is filled with ups and downs for Marcy Burke Opening with a doe-eyed, hope filled Marcy on her first day living in New York ‘The End of May’ by Kem Richards takes us through the ups and downs of her first year in the city. The loves and the break-ups, the miraculously stumbled into dream jobs and falls from grace, fallouts and friendships are all held within the story. I didn’t personally warm to Marcy, but she is a confident, sure of herself female character that is driven in her career and personal life. When things start to crumble, she shows she is a survivor, going against some of her morals in order to keep her head above water. The story flows well, Marcy’s enjoyment of sex and certain plot points lead to mature themes to appear throughout the novel, but not in a way that’s too steamy or detailed. There are also one, maybe two, instances of abuse that are handled with a similar light touch. Fans of Sex and the City and those wanting to suspend disbelief to enjoy a easy, drama-filled read set in New York City will no doubt enjoy this novel.
