Hot Desk - Laura Dickerman

Descriere

The Hating Game meets Writers and Lovers in this rollicking, sparkling and hilarious romantic comedy that is a love letter to New York. nSet in the post-pandemic publishing industry, two rival editors are forced to share a hot desk on alternating days of the week, much to each other's chagrin. Not knowing who the other is, they begin to leave passive aggressive Post-it notes on their shared (and reviled) cactus. n nBut when revered literary legend Edward David Adams (nicknamed The Lion) dies, leaving his estate up for grabs, their banter escalates as both work feverishly to land this career-making opportunity. Their fierce rivalry ultimately forces them to make decisions about what role they want to play in The Lion's legacy, as well as in each other's lives. n nSet in the nostalgic and electric vibrancy of 1980's Manhattan and the dive bars, conference rooms, and ritzy townhouses of contemporary New York, Hot Desk is a funny, sexy, unexpectedly moving novel that infuses the workplace romance with important questions about appropriation, sexism, and who has the right to tell their story.n
