Synopsis

"A heartfelt and exciting debut...a wise and honest story of how it feels to be a young woman in search of yourself."―Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Malibu Rising

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill meets Younger in a heartfelt debut following a young woman who discovers she'll have to ditch the "dream job" and write her own story to find her happy ending.

Meet Nora Hughes―the overworked, underpaid, last bookish assistant standing. At least for now.

When Nora landed an editorial assistant position at Parsons Press, it was her first step towards The Dream Job. Because, honestly, is there anything dreamier than making books for a living? But after five years of lunch orders, finicky authors, and per my last emails, Nora has come to one grand conclusion: Dream Jobs do not exist.

With her life spiraling and the Parsons staff sinking, Nora gets hit with even worse news. Parsons is cutting her already unlivable salary. Unable to afford her rent and without even the novels she once loved as a comfort, Nora decides to moonlight for a rival publisher to make ends meet...and maybe poach some Parsons' authors along the way.

But when Andrew Santos, a bestselling Parsons author no one can afford to lose is thrown into the mix, Nora has to decide where her loyalties lie. Her new Dream Job, ever-optimistic Andrew, or...herself and her future.

Nora Hughes is the perfect heroine for anyone looking to get past their own chapter twenty-something and build their storybook life.

"A tender reflection on finding your person while you're still desperately searching for yourself."―KJ Dell'Antonia, New York Times bestselling author of The Chicken Sisters

"A book for book lovers... It's impossible not to root for Nora!"―Jesse Q. Sutanto, National Bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties

I love books about books theme: the romance part of the story perfectly balanced with self worth-self discovery-finding yourself and purpose in the world parts.

(2.5) I enjoyed the publishing environment of this book and seeing our main character navigate the harsh realities that come with working in that space. This book is being pitched as a romance and there definitely is a spark that takes place between two characters, but that's really a very small par......more

books in which everything is horrible but somehow turns out nice in the end >>> i like books where the protagonist starts off deeply depressed and everything goes wrong and then everything comes together. although...this was mostly bad stuff and then too realistic of an ending. give me joy. give me ca......more

2.5 stars 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......more
