By the Book

De: Jasmine Guillory

Sometimes to truly know a person, you have to read between the lines.

Isabelle is completely lost. When she first began her career in publishing after college, she did not expect to be twenty-five, still living at home, and one of the few Black employees at her publishing house. Overworked and underpaid, constantly torn between speaking up or stifling herself, Izzy thinks there must be more to this publishing life. So when she overhears her boss complaining about a beastly high-profile author who has failed to deliver his long-awaited manuscript, Isabelle sees an opportunity to prove her worth and finally get the recognition she deserves. All she has to do is go to the author's Santa Barbara mansion and give him a quick pep talk or three. How hard could it be?

But Izzy quickly finds out she is in over her head. Beau Towers is not some celebrity lightweight writing a tell-all memoir. He is jaded and withdrawn and—it turns out—just as lost as Izzy. But despite his standoffishness, Izzy needs Beau to deliver, and with her encouragement, his story begins to spill onto the page. They soon discover they have more in common than either of them expected, and as their deadline nears, Izzy and Beau begin to realize there may be something there that wasn't there before.

Best-selling author Jasmine Guillory's reimagining of a beloved fairy tale is a tale as old as time . . . for a new generation.

Excellent

This was a beautifully written book. The story line was brilliant and moved steadily through the book. A very good read

Amazing

I loved how the author made me feel like I was listening to a friend tell a story of her love life. I caught myself genuinely smiling and being so happy for fictional characters.

Great details in this story.

Love! Love! Love everything about this book! The character development was great and storyline was amazing!

5 Stars!

I loved this story. It wasn’t even hard for me to get into after I ordered to the audible to follow the hard copy. The narrator performed the story so perfectly that I enjoyed a non-fiction story. Usually, I’m a self-help kind of gal but this was a pleasant change for the monthly read. Good job!

Clean Romance

Loved,loved,love this book.This is the first book I've read by jasmine Guillory.This was such a beautifully written book. I loved the characters. This is clean cute romance if you like that. I read and listen with Audible. I wish their was male narrator for Beau Towers character.Otherwise the book was really good.
