Narrator Emma Fenney returns as exuberant stylist Amber, who takes on Manhattan with her boyfriend, Rob. Amber books freelance work, and her gigs feature triumphs that alternate with disasters such as wailing children with whiny requests during a kids’ photo shoot, which Fenney delivers appropriately. The couple adjusts to living together in a tiny Brooklyn apartment with a multitude of stressors. Fenney makes the strain on the couple evident in her delivery of their short responses and tense, tired tones. Amber’s determination pays off with a career-making opportunity, but someone from her past may sabotage it. Fenney skillfully switches between British, New York, New Jersey, L.A., and French accents in this hilarious action-packed adventure. This sequel rivals the debut with its comedic timing, cringe-worthy situations, and wonderful imagery. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
Amber Green is back! The sequel to Rosie Nixon's fun-filled debut follows Amber as she tries to see if she has what it takes to be a stylist in the fashion capital of the world: New York City.
She'll take a bite out of the Big Apple's fashion scene-if it doesn't eat her alive first...
London stylist Amber Green has rebounded nicely since escaping the clutches of a Hollywood boss from hell. She's got a dream job designing windows for Selfridge's and her dream man in sweetly sexy boyfriend, Rob. In short, Amber loves her life and wouldn't change a thing. But when Rob is hired to produce a reality series about the iconic Angel Wear lingerie fashion show, he breaks the news that he's moving to New York...and invites Amber along on the adventure.
Ensconced in a Williamsburg sardine tin and in touch with a hotshot agent who advises she boost her social media presence, Amber hits Instagram hard, posting unintentional gossip fuel that culminates in pics of a mysterious new acquaintance who turns out to be a scandal unto himself. Between nightmarish gigs (baby photo shoots, anyone?) and styling a free-spirited starlet who seems allergic to clothing, Amber doesn't know if she's on the brink of a big break or a breakdown. That is, until a career-making opportunity falls into her lap-and with it, the truth about real friends vs. cheap knockoffs.
