I like this cover so much. It was a cute story and the best parts were the shop talk about the publishing industry, and of course, the moments when the main characters get together! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

this was literally perfect. beck made me feel so many things. I also wanted to protect him and shield him from all the bad in the world. connie was exactly just like that, the way she loved beck and encouraged him to be his true self was so beautiful. i also loved how beck made her believe in the goodness of men and in people. the journey these two characters take throughout this book was amazing. i just loved it so much. i will be thinking about them for a while.

THIS WAS SO FREAKING HILARIOUS.

Charlotte Stein has a way of making me hyperventilate by giggling so much and I truly appreciate it. Beck is the sweetest most precious sweetest man ever and I’m obsessed with him.

This was... unfortunately, a let down. It really read like she had rushed to finish this and sent it in to her editor massively unfinished. I love a big hairy man as much as anyone else, but honestly this seemed more like ... she has an American fetish than anything. Henry was the most stereotypical American that wasn't even.. accurately American. I'm convinced she looked up "Americans in the 1930s" and went from there. I felt like John Mulaney when he says no one says "Bozo" anymore. No one says diddly bop anymore, Charlotte. Or 7000 of the other things Henry says. Also, from about 53% on, this book is just sex. That's it. Her last book I sort of didn't mind because at least the rest of the writing was good and there was plot in between but this was just... not good.
