Cover Story is deeply moving story about a widowed publicist, Ali, who grapples with the loss of her girlfriend, while trying to navigate her career. She begins to struggle with the idea of keeping her clients closeted to maintain their successful careers after working with her latest client, breakout movie star, Cara Bisset. She has to work through her trauma, her belief systems shaped by the pressures of Hollywood, and her own self doubt before she can move forward.

Cover Story addresses sexuality, SA, grief, and mental health struggles while balancing a hopeful, romantic love story.

Celia Laskey gracefully navigates our FMC, Ali through tough situations and conversations. I could not put this book down, & had a massive book hangover when I finished it. The story was cute, yet had depth. I enjoyed reading a WLW/sapphic rom-com. Representation is so important, and this book not only entertains the reader, it connects them.
