| Something to Talk About by Meryl WilsnerNo comment: Despite rumors fueled by a red carpet photo, showrunner Jo Jones is NOT dating her assistant, Emma Kaplan.
But seriously, no comment: As a Chinese American lesbian (and former child star) working in Hollywood, Jo's got enough on her plate without indulging tabloid speculation about her personal life. Meanwhile, Emma wants to protect Jo for reasons that are only partly professional.
Reviewers say: "The writing is crisp, the banter is sharp, and the sexual tension is palpable" (Booklist). |
