Books like I'll take Manhattan by Judith Krantz

Maxi Amberville, a striking woman of twenty-nine, has already abandoned three husbands on two continents, living her life of decadence in her luxurious Trump Tower apartment. After her widowed mother marries a man who threatens her family's magazine legacy, Maxi leverages her love for the finer things in life to undertake an ambitious journey into the heart of publishing. She takes over the modest weekly *Buttons & Bows*, rallies a talented former husband, a spirited daughter, and a roster of influential elites, and ultimately creates the glittering, high-profile fashion magazine *B & B*. The story traces her relentless pursuit of success, the drama of family and love, and her grand entrance into the literary and vanity press scene of New York. This dramatic, sizzling tale showcases Maxi’s ambition, her devotion to family, and her undeniable impact on the world of fashion and publishing.
