synopsis
Weston White just got dumped right before the New Year and hasn’t ever felt particularly lucky in love. Her only love has been writing and working on this novel she’s been trying to finish for years now. Finally, feeling like she’s ready to put it out to the world, she decides to get a literary agent to help her get published. Little does she know, her book getting published would be the second best thing to happen to her this year.
Annie Halifax is the third generation part-owner of The Halifax Agency, a literary agency that’s been dying on the vine for years with the advent of self-publishing. Her job is to carry the torch for the family and ensure the agency doesn’t go under on her watch. When her father decides to retire and, instead, puts her uninterested and sometimes flighty older sister in charge, Annie is left to figure out why and find her new place, either at the agency or somewhere else entirely.
When Weston meets Annie, she’s taken aback instantly, but navigating through getting her first book published while also falling in love with the agent representing her, isn’t easy. And with Annie trying to find out what her future looks like at the agency on top of it, things get complicated.
Watch these two women try to make things work just in time for Valentine’s Day.
rant
- This was just ok ʅ( ․ ⤙ ․)ʅ
- Annie and Weston were cute together – there was some chemistry between them – Weston is really a lover girl and Annie is more reserved in that aspect it made their dynamic interesting in the beginning
- Really loved the dynamic and the little bit of drama Annie’s relationship w/ her sister brought
- loved the friends – like I was already getting excited to read the next book and I was barely 3/4 of the way through this one
- This was was bit harder to get through bc honestly it was a bit boring – I didn’t find myself thinking about it that much outside of reading it if that makes sense – plus I kind of wanted to rush through this one to get to the next one bc it already seemed more interesting
- I like Pyland’s writing style – her dialogue can be a bit extra at points but for the most part it’s really good
- Would read again if I was going to re read the whole series
