My Life as a Philly Girl

She came to Philadelphia with forty-seven dollars, a duffel bag full of Chanel, and absolutely no plan.Jo Maddox had everything - until her father's wife pulled the plug on her Beverly Hills lifestyle and put her on a one-way bus to South Jersey with nothing but designer luggage and three lip glosses. Standing outside a Pennsauken transit center in rhinestone heels, she is officially out of moves.Alicia Johnson is having her own worst Tuesday. Fresh off catching her boyfriend of three years in her good bedsheets with a woman named Candy, she is driving through Pennsauken trying to remember who she is outside of a relationship that should have ended sooner. The last thing she needs is to adopt a stranded socialite. She stops anyway.What follows is equal parts disaster and magic. A diner dash gone wrong. A scheme involving dating profiles, designer clothes, and a man named Bradford who chose a seafood restaurant despite a severe shellfish allergy. A punch bowl deployed with surgical precision at exactly the right moment. An Atlantic City craps table that changes everything. And somewhere between the mozzarella crawl, the boom box incident, and a truth told in a hospital corridor, two women who had nothing in common become the most important people in each other's lives.My Life as a Philly Girl is a love letter to female friendship, second chances, and the city that holds space for both. For readers who believe that the best things in life arrive unannounced - usually at a bus station, usually wearing the wrong shoes.Friendship. Heartbreak. Hoagies. Bad decisions.
