There is an avid readership for the wish-fulfillment of reinvention, and the authenticity of the perfect-fantasy-turned-not-so-perfect-reality will surely resonate.”

“Colasanti’s Manhattan is a teenager’s paradise, with late-night rendezvous at sandwich shops, rooftop hideaways and low parental involvement. The contrast between Brooke’s dull New Jersey town and life in the big city will resonate with teens craving a change.”
