One of my favorite ways to get to knowa city is in visiting the local bookstores, just call me a modern day Helene Hanf. There's a small bookstore on Madison on the Upper East Side that I love. I had a remembered a book a teacher once told me about and in the moment, I had to find it. I couldn't think of the title and explained the book as best as I could, a story about Jackie and Lee Bouvier and an unforgetable summer. The store owner just happened to be working the day I dropped in and replied, "I know exactly which book you're talking about!" Of course this particular bookstore had the most adorable library ladder and when the owner came down off the ladder and excitedly handed me the book, she said "this has to be it," smiling back at me. Later that night as I got ready for bed I curled up with the book and read it from beginning to end and it was lovely.
