Keenly Kept

New York Books

Last Updated: September 16, 2025

Below you will find star ratings for books based in New York and about New York. There are a few added in with generally urban settings that could be New York City (such as Corduroy). If I have written a review for it, the image will link to that.

This page is continually being updated as I read relevant books. Enjoy!
