New York City ~ Present Day

Geri O’Brien’s goal in life is to be a published screenwriter, all the while she hopes to find the man of her dreams. She’s received as many rejections from publishers as she has from men, which still hasn’t put any damper on her spirit. She plugs away at her job at a children’s publisher and spends her free time with her friends, Emmy, Maria and Sally. Meanwhile, Geri has a crush on her neighbor, Todd, who always looks to her when he needs his car fixed. When he asks her to meet him at a bar…ooh la la…things just might be looking up in the men department. Well, things don’t move as fast in Geri’s life as she wishes, even if she is living the New York minute.

Geri grew up an only child with a father who had to raise her single-handedly after her mother left, and it has left its mark. Trying to achieve love and happiness is not easy for Geri, since everyone is too busy trying to survive in the concrete jungle known as New York City. Emmy and Maria are Geri’s childhood friends who support her in her quest for stardom and love. Emmy herself hasn’t forgotten the boy who would never look at her in high school. Well, he’s in New York now and finally paying attention to Emmy. Will she get the man she wants? Maria just wants to be the best damn cop she can be. Right now, she’s involved in an ongoing case which weaves itself into the plot of NO GOOD GIRLS to provide a touch of suspense. Sally is Geri’s coworker and is just looking for a man and has a big dating book to show for it. Will she find love in the most unexpected place?

NO GOOD GIRLS is a chick lit book with a romantic side. Geri might be single and living in New York, but she hasn’t given up on finding Mr. Right. With Todd in her sights, plus J.T., a man she’s made up in her dreams, one can picture Geri sighing in the moonlight while gazing dreamily at the sky. Add in her gaggle of friends and other supporting characters, NO GOOD GIRLS is an entertaining read that is well-rounded and fresh. This is Jean Marie Pierson’s debut novel, and with the launch of NO GOOD GIRLS, she shows readers an endearingly unique voice with a funny plot.
