In a move that’s less Les Miserables and more Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway has secured herself a swanky new Upper West Side pad in New York City.

The classic apartment is the perfect NYC abode for a couple and their two young girls
What is Valentine's Day if not for watching 17-year-old rom coms, and stalking their characters' impossibly nice pre-war apartments? Such was our logic in revisiting You've Got Mail, which is as much of a love letter to a certain oh-so-90s version of the Upper West Side as it is to, well, love letters.

Notes From Your BooksellerTold in a buoyant and clever narrative voice, Swanna in Love is a tragic yet uplifting coming-of-age story that will resonate with adult readers of Judy Blume and Big Little Lies. Best-selling author Belle (High Maintenance, Going Down) unleashes her first new novel in over ten years It's the summer of 1982 and fourteen-year-old Swanna Swain is the only one left at camp. The place is a ghost town by the time her mother Val finally shows up six hours late—stoned and radiant—in a Ford pickup driven by Borislav, her new young Russian lover. Assuming she is headed home to her air-conditioned Upper West Side apartment, Swanna and her lovable younger brother Madding are instead dragged to Vermont—to an artist colony where kids are not welcome and they are forced to sleep in the back of the truck, while Val is cozy inside the house with the Russian. Then Swanna meets Dennis, a handsome married father of two, at a bowling alley, and, knowing a thing or two about seduction from Judy Blume, her best friend at camp, and her own parents’ many affairs—she sets out to convince Dennis to help her. But love seldom obeys rules, and even a tough, smart, city girl like Swanna might not be able to handle falling in love. Best-selling novelist Jennifer Belle returns with a kind of inverse Lolita that explores adolescent desire from the girl’s point of view. In turns hilarious and wildly shocking, Swanna in Love will keep your feathers ruffled and the pages gliding by.
