Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eViolet Townsend has always been a people pleaser. Raised in the privileged world of Upper East Side Manhattan, she always says the right things, wears the right clothes, and never rocks the boat. Violet would do \u003ci\u003eanything\u003c\/i\u003e for the people closest to her, especially her beloved grandmother. So when she asks Violet to teach the newly-discovered grandson of her friend how to fit in with New York City's elite, Violet immediately agrees. Her goal? To get Cain Stone ready to take his place as heir to his family company...but to say he's not exactly an eager student is an understatement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn and raised in rural Louisiana and now making his own way in New Orleans, Cain Stone is only playing along for the paycheck at the end. He has no use for the grandmother he didn't know existed and no patience for the uppity Violet's attempts to turn him into a suit-wearing, museum-attending gentleman. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut somewhere amidst antagonistic dinner parties and tortured tux fittings, Cain and Violet come to a begrudging understanding--and the uptight Violet realizes she's not the only one doing the teaching. As she and Cain begin to find mutual respect for one another (and maybe even something more), Violet learns that blindly following society's rules doesn't lead to happiness...and that sometimes the best things in life come from the most unexpected places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982152833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.31w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lauren Layne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41481526345909,"sku":"9781982152833","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_86d2c9df-c494-459c-88b5-1aaa7d178b76.jpg?v=1640733354","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/made-in-manhattan-9781982152833","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
