      Je hais New York ! Je sais, c'est dingue. Toutes les city girls de la planète rêvent de s'installer à Manhattan. Pourtant, je n'ai qu'une envie : déménager ! Entre mes journées de folie au boulot, le métro bondé, les épiceries hors de prix, notre appart riquiqui et nos voisins insupportables ... ma vie est un enfer. Un changement radical s'impose ! J'en suis sûre : Jack et moi serions beaucoup plus heureux dans une maison bien à nous, à 30 minutes de New York. D'ailleurs, j'ai déjà commencé à lire les petites annonces... Reste à convaincre Jack, nos amis, nos parents - et notre banquier, bien sûr. Et à dénicher la maison de nos rêves... Mais c'est décidé : je lance officiellement l'opération " Talons aiguilles et peinture fraîche " !

      C'est fou ce que les hommes peuvent être bornés, parfois. Prenez mon mec, par exemple. J'ai beau lui répéter sur tous les tons que New York est une ville géniale, il n'en démord pas : il préfère Los Angeles ! On s'en amusait au début, mais depuis qu'il passe de entretiens d'embauche sur la côte Ouest, je ris nettement moins. Parce que moi, je n'ai aucune envie de quitter New York, mes copines et mon boulot pour le rejoindre à L.A. ! Bref, après des années d'amour rose bonbon, nous sommes dans l'impasse. S'il décroche un job là-bas, je peux dire adieu à nos projets de vie commune ! Ce qu'il me faudrait, c'est un argument décisif. Un truc qui le fasse changer d'avis et revenir à New York (et dans mes bras) pour de bon. Je vais le chercher ce soir à l'aéroport. D'ici là, j'aurai bien trouvé une idée...

      Troppi MA nella vita di Tracey Spadolini. Un lavoro per una rinomata agenzia pubblicitaria di New York, MA di fatto nessuna considerazione e nessuna responsabilità. Un perfetto guardaroba 'all black', MA solo perché qualsiasi altro colore la farebbe sembrare una balena. Un fidanzato niente male (anzi, diciamola tutta, da sogno), MA lontano da lei anni luce. Un amico impagabile, MA solo un amico, appunto. È il momento di cancellare tutti i MA. E magari anche qualche chilo, qualche sigaretta e qualche drink di troppo...
