Don't Poke the Bear (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639882908)

It is 1995. Mayor Giuliani is well on his way to creating a New York City inhospitable to bohemians, and three boho friends find themselves caught up in the rough currents of the ever-changing city. Navigating demanding careers, difficult boyfriends, and a famously abusive housing market, they live their lives with an enviable nonconformist flair that sets them apart. Life might be easier elsewhere, but for these determined friends, elsewhere is never an option.

Don't Poke the Bear is a Sex and the City for real people. With no fantasy shoe collections, no money for amazing fabulous restaurants, and no access to the hottest clubs, spirited survivors Allie, Rihanna, and Natia encapsulate the very heart and soul of New York City.
