Younger meets Writers & Lovers in this wise, witty novel about friendship, ambition, and love.

In the post-pandemic publishing industry, two rival editors are forced to share a “hot desk” on alternating days of the week. Having never set eyes on each other, Rebecca Blume and Ben Heath begin leaving passive-aggressive Post-it notes on the pot of their shared cactus. But when revered literary legend Edward David Adams (known as “the Lion”) dies, leaving his estate up for grabs, they compete to land this career-making opportunity. As the battle heats up, Rebecca learns of a surprising connection between her mother, Jane, and the Lion from forty years earlier.

The story travels back to the early 1980s, when Jane arrives in Manhattan and meets the glamorous Rose, who soon becomes her best friend. These two talented young women try to make their mark in the publishing world at a time when art, the written word, and creative expression were at their height. But one fateful day during the April blizzard of 1982 will change the course of Jane’s life, and of their friendship, forever. As Rebecca learns more about her mother’s past, the storylines converge, and all three women must reconcile with the decisions they have made and come together to navigate the choices that lie ahead.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The ensemble narration of Corey Brill, Cassandra Campbell, and Renata Friedman renders this audio production a real delight. At a publishing house, unseasoned editors Rebecca Blume and Ben Heath are forced to share a desk on different days of the week. A rivalry ensues, which heats up when a literary giant known as the Lion dies and his literary estate becomes fair game. As the novel progresses, the narrators move the listener back in time to reveal a previous relationship that Rebecca’s own mother had with the Lion. Brill, Campbell, and Friedman master the voices of the main characters with a lot of flair."

This was a really enjoyable listen, loved the narrators, the twisty story, It's a bit of a romance, and I definitely laughed at loud several times, but there's also some other wonderful and moving story elements that I don't want to spoil that balance out the frivolity. A very New York tale.

Such a a fun dishy publishing world story

This fun story has it all: clever use of time and hot desking to anchor new and old love and competition; NYC of today and early 1980s; humor; juxtaposition between my generation (early Gen X) with today’s generation and between gender norms and offenses. A well crafted novel about the world of editing and authors. Satisfying read!

Smart and Clever

I thought this was going to be primarily a fun, romantic book. And while it is that, it is also more. A careful look at how attitudes about SA have changed from the 80s to now as well as a thoughful look at hero culture.
This book was so much more than I thought it would be. I loved it!

This book is wonderful!
