Definitely sloooooow burn. ( ) Oh my goodness. This book was not at all overhyped. In fact, it might actually have been underhyped because no words could have prepared me to ship something so hard. I must give a shout out to Emma's love of food firstly. And I must warn anyone thinking about reading this book to only do so if you are not prone to stomach ulcers because holy crow I had butterflies in my tummy practically every second scene. The slow burn build up was absolutely incredible and felt so pure. But I admire most how Wilsner created real conflicts. None of the roadblocks or holdups felt inserted for the sake of conflict. All the misunderstandings and missed cues were believable and real and built character. And those characters were so personable and good. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. I read a lot of queer books, and I find that the Young Adult genre is doing a great job with diversity and inclusivity, but the Adult Romance genre? Not so much. Diversity is becoming more common, but I still struggle to find queer adult romance novels. (The only other one that really comes to mind is [book:Red, White & Royal Blue|41150487]). So a lesbian novel? about Hollywood? That addresses sexism, racism, and sexual harassment in Hollywood? HELL YEAH!!! I love the characterizations of Jo and Emma, and the tropes used throughout. I did get a little upset because I thought there was going to be a bad case of Miscommunication (my personal least favorite trope in any media ever; like come on people, talk to each other!) but I turned out to be wrong, and I couldn't have been happier!! I couldn't put this book down, although I will admit I was expecting a little more fake dating thanks to the back-cover blurb. Frankly, I loved Wilsner's writing, and I look forward to reading more from them in the future! I was stoked to realize they're a Michigan-based writer, and I'm so glad I got an autographed copy! Edit: I desperately want to both 1. see and 2. own the dresses described in the book. They sound gorgeous. Couldn't tell this was a debut novel. I loved the depth of characterization for the h/h and all the people around them. Also mixes in a scathing indictment of celebrity media, sexual harassment, and racism in the film and television industry without ever taking away from the core story of two women falling in love. Can't wait to see what the author comes up with next. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:A showrunner and her assistant give the world something to talk about when they accidentally fuel a ridiculous rumor in this debut romance. Hollywood powerhouse Jo is photographed making her assistant Emma laugh on the red carpet, and just like that, the tabloids declare them a couple. The so-called scandal couldn't come at a worse time??threatening Emma's promotion and Jo's new movie. As the gossip spreads, it starts to affect all areas of their lives. Paparazzi are following them outside the office, coworkers are treating them differently, and a ??source? is feeding information to the media. But their only comment is ??no comment?. With the launch of Jo??s film project fast approaching, the two women begin to spend even more time together, getting along famously. Emma seems to have a sixth sense for knowing what Jo needs. And Jo, known for being aloof and outwardly cold, opens up to Emma in a way neither of them expects. They begin to realize the rumor might not be so off base after all?but is acting on the spark between them worth fanni Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
