An insightful review, Karen, that has me even look closer at my own views on reading and reviewing. Very happy you loved it so. 🩷
Nice review, Karen! Congrats on the giveaway win. How nice that it was a 5 star for you!
That cover is giving me the ick, though. In our culture, it is considered quite offensive to touch any source of knowledge such as books with our feet/shoes. I wouldn't be able to pick up this book without cringing at that pic! 😬

Thank you Rosh - and thank you for that cultural feedback. I never would have known that. 😬

Thank you so much Cristina. ♥️
LOL, at first glance I thought this was "Bitch" Queen. 😉
This novel intrigues me as I was a literary publicist in my former life. Thanks for putting it on my radar, Karen.

🤣 Oh my! Seriously, Teres. Then you probably could relate to everything that she is writing about in this story! I would be interested in what you think of it even more because of your experience. And yes, that did come up! 😉
Wow this sounds so delicious on so many levels! Great review, Karen. I may have to add this one to my loooong list…

This sounds like such a charming and insightful read - love the behind-the-scenes look at publishing and the literary world!

It really is, Taufiq. I think you would find it an interesting experience. ☺️
What a wonderful review, Karen! It sounds like a really interesting idea, especially as it’s about the world of a literary agent from Karin’s perspective. I think it’s neat, I’m so glad it was a 5-star read for you and that you enjoyed it. Congratulations on winning this book too! Hope all is well with you, I am okay just the ups and downs of caregiving for my hubby. Hard watching him decline, hugs 💕💕💕

Thank you Jaye. And, hugs, to you, as well. Sending healing your way! ❤️🩹
Karen, this review is giving book club leader who brings themed snacks and emotional insight. I love how you captured both the swoony reader vibes and the gritty hustle behind the publishing curtain. Claire sounds like she’s juggling dreams, drama, and one ethically questionable pitch at a time, and I’m already rooting for her messy reinvention arc.

Fabulous review! I enjoy books about the publishing industry and who doesn't love a book with love of other books in it?
