Park Avenue: A glamorous legal drama full of family secrets, billion-dollar scandal, and K-Beauty intrigue from Bestelling Author

Sarra Manning @sarramanning.bsky.social · 7h

I didn't see Park Avenue reviewed much but it almost made my top ten books of 2025 (yes, I've already compiled my list.) Think Succession meets K-drama. It's one of those 99p Kindle books that I tell you to take a punt on. Trust me! amzn.to/42Guv4q

There is no good reason to do away with speech marks. It’s just pretentiousness. Also, unrelated, but you can absolutely skip the farming and religious bits in Anna Karenina.

I raved about You, Again when it published a couple of years ago. For me, it’s a near perfect romcom. Snarky, sexy, emotionally hefty and currently 99p for Kindle. amzn.to/42xlTNq

Nothing wrong with a bit of gingham

I do have a lot of time for a sack dress though. And I do like the jaunty ricrac trim but it’s not the dress you’re looking for.

Have spent most of the day trying and failing to think of a suitable, HOT name for the MMC of what I hope will be my next novel. I think I've used them all. (No need for suggestions. One person's idea of hot is another person's idea of absolutely fucking horrified, oh my God, are you kidding me?)

I mean! And then when he stooped to kiss her goodbye, the most ridiculously, unknowingly slapstick moment in a really po-faced film. Poor Pablo. They did him dirty!
