Synopsis

It's 5:30am on Fifth Avenue and sixteen-year-old Gemma Beesley is standing in front of Tiffany & Co. wearing the perfect black dress with her pastry and coffee held tightly in a brown paper bag--just like Holly Golightly. As the co-founder of a successful Tumblr blog--Oh Yeah Audrey!--devoted to all things Audrey Hepburn, Gemma has traveled from Pennsylvania to New York in order to meet up with her fellow bloggers and friends, Bryan and Trina, for the first time. She has meticulously planned out a 24-hour adventure for the trio in homage to Breakfast at Tiffany's; however, her plans become quickly sidetracked when a glamorous boy sweeps in and offers her the type of New York experience she's always dreamed of. Gemma soon learns who her true friends are and that, sometimes, "no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself." Filled with hip and sparkling prose, Tucker Shaw's Oh Yeah, Audrey! is as much a story of friendship as it is a love letter to New York, Audrey Hepburn and the character she made famous.

About this title

Review:

"Any teen who's ever dreamed big or worshipped a star from afar will relate to this lightweight but nonetheless enchanting novel about identity and self-worth."--Kirkus Reviews (09/01/2014)

"Audrey may be the center of attention in Shaw's story, but it's really about friendship, shared dreams, and the lonelier and less glamorous side of Holly Golightly."--Publishers Weekly (08/18/2014)
