I read the iconic book that Meryl wrote in 2023 “mistakes were made” that had me clutching my pearls every 5 seconds because of how many times the characters jumped each other’s bones lol so this one was a bit more subdued and slow burn. The payoff is always the best part! Because you have all this pining and tension and it feels like it’s going to break and then it does a fake out where the character has seconds thoughts. It was so well done! And the way Jo admits in the beginning of the book that she’s in love with her assistant and doesn’t say something until like the second to last chapter or so was just cruel! It kept me hanging on tho!
