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.
My Review:
TW: Suicide. I have to say that this book surprised me because it really was about depression more than anything. I was expecting a bit of romance and there was a tiny bit but it was more about the struggle of life. Definitely should have come with a warning regarding the very serious topics discussed in most of the book. I was hoping for something fun and this did not fit that bill. Hope you have more luck!
Would you recommend this job to a friend?
The question echoed in Nora's mind as the silence ticked by. She glanced from the twenty-two-year-old girl across from her to the resume on the table.
