About this audiobook
Now Tina is the proud owner of a huge luxury apartment overlooking Central Park. Things couldn't get much better, right? Wrong. Her half-brothers, left out of the inheritance, think that she has no right to the apartment, and they want her out-by any means necessary.
So that's how Tina went from standing on the edge of her mother's grave to squatting in a twelve-room apartment in the center of New York. Now that she has it all, is she prepared to fight to the end to keep it?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I tend to agree with some of the other reviews –the front cover is a huge draw (you think it will be a fun chick flick similar to Jennifer Weiner or Sarah Pekkanen’s work). However, it was not in my opinion- disappointing. The basis of the novel was good—poor quirky girl (Tina) an outcast, goes from living in a trailer park (housekeeper) to a 12-room apartment overlooking Central Park in NY.
Lots of drama from her evil sisters, Bill’s sons (her mother’s second husband) who died only a few weeks earlier, crazy neighbors, lawyer, finds her mom kept hidden, rare plants, secret passages----- however, the main character development did not have a lot of depth, and plot planning was just not there for me. If you like this sort of quirky book – may be for you. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a good choice to sit with during a lazy afternoon. The book is not what it appears to be.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Tina Finn is a screw up. Her mother dies suddenly and leaves no will. Tina and her two sisters - Lucy & Alison - find themselves inheriting an Upper West Side apartment with a view of Central Park. In order to stake their claim on the apartment, Tina is forced to move in. Her mother's step sons wan the apartment for themselves and cannot understand why their father left the apartment to his second wife - who was his housekeeper. The co-op board for the building wants to split up the apartment themselves and tries to evict Tina almost immediately. As Lucy & Alison try to figure out the red tape surrounding the apartment, Tina tries to make friends with the co-op board. Tina also explores the apartment more and finds a whole closet full of items from her mother's husband's first marriage. From rare plants to false arrests to secret passages this historical apartment has much more in store than it first looks.
