Rebecca Dana was a smart young Ivy Leaguer who came to New York and quickly had it all – perfect job, successful attorney boyfriend, great apartment – until suddenly she didn't. When her boyfriend cheated on her, she moved to Brooklyn to lick her wounds and ended up sharing an apartment with a young Lubavitch rabbi who is taking time off to study jujitsu. Nelson calls this memoir a "love letter to New York," a "really funny, deceptively wise book" with a "Mary-Tyler-Moore-crashes-and-burns" type quality.
