Nora Hughes has been working at Parson’s Publishing for 5 years and has endured business restructuring that meant her favorite coworkers had been let go and she had to take on enough work for three employees, plus the added humiliation of a pay cut. She’s already been spiraling into depression but it keeps getting worse when she can’t make ends meet and she takes on a part time position at another publishing house, all while a promotion at Parson’s hinges on signing an author she’s somewhat romantically involved with.
Of course you should expect that at some point everything is going to come crashing down but I found myself flipping ahead a few pages so I could adequately prepare myself for the inevitable fallout. Nora made some pretty bad choices but I still found myself rooting for her to get better. It’s really hard to climb out of a depression pit. Beth is a wonderful side character who reminds me a lot of my own version of Beth who was crucial in helping me get back of track. I’m ambivalent about Andrew; he’s written as being incredibly supportive of Nora but I’m not sold on it. He was a little too understanding when he got the full story.
I appreciated the realistic ending and that
