This unfortunately was not a book I loved. I always wonder when I don’t care for the audiobook, would I have enjoyed the book had I read it? I’ll never know. What I do know is that this wasn’t the book for me.
As the description states, Nora is overworked and underpaid. She is an editorial assistant at Parson’s Press. When she learns she is getting a pay cut, she comes up with a plan to moonlight at a rival publisher. Enter Andrew Santos stage left. He is a best-selling author at Parsons. When she gets his sandwich order wrong, she gets on his radar, and they form a friendship. Now Nora must decide, try to get him to sign with Webber, where she is moonlighting, or convince him to stay at Parsons.
Along the way she gets tripped up over her lies, and you guessed it, things begin to fall apart. What will she do? Will she get the job she wants? Will her lies be her downfall?
I’m sure many will love this about the book. But I was expecting something entirely different. That is on me and not the author. But, at the end of the day, this just didn’t work for me. I didn’t connect with any of the characters, didn’t feel any chemistry between them and didn’t care what happened to them or what path they took.
Many are enjoying this book more than I did, so please seek out their reviews as well.
Thank you to OrangeSky Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
