Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I absolutely loved this book because of its funny and lovable characters and witty dialogue. Melissa goes to stay with boyfriend Jonathan in New York. But she cannot leave her work at the Little Lady Agency behind even though best friend Gabi and scary sister Allegra are babysitting the office. Jonathan wants her to forget work and have a break but Melissa is getting withdrawal symptoms and it isn't enough for her to tame Braveheart, Jonathan's wayward dog and what about Cindy, Jonathan's ex-wife? Nelson is still much in evidence as is Honey - Melissa's alter ego and Melissa's scrapes make this an event filled story which keeps the reader guessing to the last page. If you want a real feel good novel with believable characters then go for this one. It can stand alone but once you've read it you'll want to read the other two in the series - 'The Little Lady Agency' and 'What the Lady Wants' recently retitled as 'The Little Lady Agency and the Prince.'

In an age where cell phones, Blackberries, texting, and emails are the norm, it is so refreshing to read a book in which the protagonist is adamant about the rules of etiquette and writing thank you notes. I loved TLLA, but I enjoyed LL,BA even more because Ms. Browne uses NYC as one of its settings. As a New Yorker, I found this a fun read, especially from a cross-cultural perspective (yes, I do admit that we New Yorkers tend to go overboard with special occasions and their respective registries.) The story flowed seamlessly, and I loved seeing more of Melissa in this one. Her family is as eccentric as ever, and Nelson's reprimands of his young crew on the ship had me laughing out loud, receiving odd looks from those around me on the subway in the process. I loved Melissa's relationship with Jonathan, which the author wrote with great humor and depth. Melissa is not naive-I find her to be old-fashioned but with a modern sensibility. I just loved the fact that she didn't know what the "Mile High Club" was-utterly charming! I can't wait for Melissa/Honey's next adventure!

I have been waiting for this to come out since devouring the first Little Lady book last year. I wish I could say I showed some restraint in reading this, made it last- but I didn't! I read it over a weekend, and now am impatient for the next.
There is more of Melissa than Honey in this story, and while I was initially a little disappointed as I love Honey, it was great to get to know Melissa a bit more.
I really enjoyed seeing how the Englishness of Honey worked in an American setting- the story swoops along, just like a glamorous rollercoaster. Will she, won't he - did she really?! And that doesn't just refer to Melissa/Honey and Jonathan- Gabbi and Nelson and Melissa's family are back too.
My hope for the next book is that we have a little more Honey, and that it comes with a warning- Little Lady books make me want to shop!

Very Disappointing...
Having loved 'The Little Lady Agency', I felt really let down by this sequal.
For a start Melissa's just annoying in this book, even thought she wasn't in the first... Read more

Good But Not Great
Although I really enjoyed her first novel, Jonathan was my least favourite character. Unfortunately for me, he still figures heavily in the story as the main love interest. Read more

Hurray for Honey
I loved Little Lady Agency, and I loved Little Lady, Big Apple - there's the same wit, glamour and pace as before, but with the added 'character' of New York. Read more
