REVIEW
"Jo wasn't lying when she said Emma got her through most days. She did it because of things like this, because of the way she had Jo's back, the way she took care of her."
Trigger warnings: sexual harassment
This is a f/f romance book set in Hollywood! Jo Jones was a child actress and is now a writer/producer in the industry. Emma is her assistant who dreams of becoming a director someday. After Jo brings Emma as her date to an awards show, they get swept up in rumors about the two of them dating.
The romance is definitely a slow-burn. There’s a slow build-up towards Jo and Emma realizing they do have romantic feelings towards each other. They go from having a professional relationship to becoming friends and then eventually lovers.
Jo and Emma’s cute moments together had my heart fluttering. Their relationship is so wholesome and they wholeheartedly care about one another as seen by how Emma does way more than just being an assistant. She became Jo’s friend, one of the few people she trusts in the industry and even someone who helps her get through the week. Likewise, Jo is attentive towards Emma as well and she continues to support her with her dreams.
This book tackled sexual harassment specifically in Hollywood and the #MeToo movement. I feel that how it was tackled represents the reality in the industry especially with how abusers can still continue to get projects while the victims suffer from the fallout of the situation.
Overall I really liked this one! To be honest I don’t gravitate towards slow-burn romances. When I picked this up I honestly didn’t know it was one but luckily it worked out fine.
