I find no fault with this book!

Queer characters are written beautifully complicated and unique. Fat character's are written well and not derogatory or sad. The sibling relationships are realistic. Glad I gave this one a shot after reading Meryl's other book because I wasn't a fan of that one...

I need to know Wilsner's A03 handle *right now*

Points for:
- fanficcy fluffy goodness
- Hollywood creeps getting wrecked wish-fulfillment
- slowest of burns on the colleagues-to-friends-to-lovers
- Top tier Pining
- Actual Character Reasons for the miscommunication plot stuff
- Hot-Older-Millionaire determined to be the Anti-Mr.Rochester. Nice

Overall - Fluff with depth. Very domestic despite the glamorous setting. I might drag myself out of YA and this book slump yet.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Sexual harassment

Minor: Xenophobia, Racism, Panic attacks/disorders, Lesbophobia, Biphobia, and Alcohol

- Character experiences an asthma attack - Child characters are mentioned (briefly) as being injured in sports - Most warnings are for things characters experience or are concerned about and deliberately avoided.

- Character expresses concern at being seen as "predatory Lesbian" or that contributes to narrative of "un-faithful bisexual" - much of the tension revolves around the power dynamics of the Boss/Assistant relationship and characters determination to behave professionally and *not* take advantage

I don’t think the author knows how human beings talk, added a star because I imagined Lucy Liu as Jo and that made it bearable. Also sexual harassment content warning, idk why storygraph doesn’t have that option >:(
