Goodreads

“Bravo, Melina! A bonafide hot girl beach read and a glamorous debut. The Manhattan Mishap is a captivating, chic whirlwind of gossip and romance that makes you want to pack your bags and hop on the next flight going anywhere. Margot dreams big and juicy drama is around every corner- but she sure knows how to make a fashionable exit. If a beach vacation or self-care night is calling, this book is the perfect companion!” — Ailin

“This fun chick-lit debut nails its pop culture references and has some great laugh out loud moments! The story is fast-paced with well developed, interesting characters. I loved Margot’s sense of style and the detailed descriptions of her outfits. Fantastic option for a beach read!” — Madison

“Finished this in a single sitting while flying home for Christmas, and damn, what a way to kick off the holidays! If your idea of a fabulous night is getting cocktails with your friends at the trendiest spot in the city and sitting down to dissect everyone's latest professional and romantic dramas, then you will *love* this book. Reading this feels like an intimate conversation with your gorgeous friend Margot, hearing all about her escapades and rooting her on because ultimately, you know that she has what it takes to come out on top. In short, this book is delightfully paced and simply a lot of fun. There's enough drama to keep you hooked, enough sass to make you laugh, and yet still easy going enough to be an enjoyable beach read. The Manhattan Mishap has more of a career focus than a pure romance focus, which I love! This is about a hard working woman on a mission! That being said, there are still some steamy scenes in this book to serve as the cherry on top. And although the title implies that this is solely set in New York City, this chick lit masterpiece is also a love letter to Toronto, a city I know and love. Of course, I also vicariously enjoyed the escape to NYC and all the iconic wining and dining Margot gets up to. All in all, this feels like a night out on the town. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy of the Manhattan Mishap!” — Ahn

Reader Reviews

“I just finished reading this; it was definitely a departure from my usual picks but I am so glad. It was hilarious and fun and I loved all the characters (even the ones that were supposed to be unlovable). I laughed out loud multiple times. I sat down to start it yesterday afternoon and finished it about 24 hours later lol... I couldn't stop. Melina Morry you absolutely knocked it out of the park. What an awesome achievement!” — Bobbi B.

“I truly enjoyed reading your book, it had a bit of everything — like not getting the job Margot was expecting to get, the best friend always supporting Margot no matter what, little Lola, the amazing Aussie boyfriend and how Margot put up with the crazy Latina that made Margot work very hard and she took the credit for it. Strong, resilient Margot. But in the end she ripened the fruits of her hard work and dedication with her man beside her. I'm looking forward to book number two.” — Soledad M.

“Here's one reason [to read The Manhattan Mishap], because it's amazingly written, full of sentence after sentence of incredibly descriptive details and captivating thoughts that are hilarious and quite realistic! Fantastic read, especially for anyone who loves any part of fashion or knows anything about the industry. I had to pace myself while reading it because I wanted to savour it for as long as possible. But to be honest once I got to Chapter 18 I refused to close it, I read right till the end. I got a bit sad knowing it ended and I am going to have to read it again until you release your next book. Which I pray is soon!” — Nicole B.
