3. All tea and scones must be split equally at all times.

Annie, Genna, and Zoe have been hanging out at the Steeping Leaf since elementary school. The Teashop Girls do everything together — at least they used to.

When Annie convinces her grandmother to give her a job as a barista at the Leaf, things begin to look up. In between whipping up chai lattes for customers, and attempting to catch the attention of her Barista Boy crush, Annie is finally beginning to feel as grown-up as her best friends. But an eviction notice spells trouble for the Leaf and unless they can turn the business around, the teashop will have to close its doors forever.

Fresh, honest, and sweet, Laura Schaefer’s debut novel is sure to resonate with readers everywhere.

A girl. A dream job.

A city full of possibilities…

Imogene is obsessed with fashion. Combine that with her talent for trouble (aka maxing out her “emergencies only” AmEx) and suddenly she’s not going to chere Paris with her best friend for the summer. No, she must do the unthinkable for a stylish Greenwich girl such as herself — get a job.

Resourceful as always, Imogene works her connections and lands a dream internship at a fashion forecasting agency in New York. Now she’s lunching at Serendipity, first on line at the Barney’s warehouse sale, and skoshing seats at fashion week.

But when Imogene’s dream is threatened by a cute Italian boy and one very evil intern, she questions what she really wants. And she learns that even in fashion, being true to yourself and following your dreams can go hand in hand.
