So, a lesbian writer is penning a novel about a lesbian writer. You see, one of the women is a women’s-suit-and-stillettos-wearing business tycoon by day, and an unfulfilled romance novelist by night. It’s not only a highly contrived plot, but it came across to me as perhaps narcissistic. This is a lesbian romance between two girly girls who are friends online but (although they don’t realize it) are “enemies” in real life (this is, the author tells us, a popular “trope”). When their online identities are revealed, will Jane be able to write her way to a happy ending, or is Rosie’s heart a closed book? Even though they’re at odds, there’s no denying the sparks that fly every time they’re together. When Rosie learns that her bookstore’s lease has been terminated by Jane’s family’s business, romance moves to the back burner. Jane hasn’t had much luck with her own love life, but her online connection with a loyal reader makes Jane wonder if she could be the one. By night, she puts her steamier side on paper under her pen name: Brie. By day, she works for the family property development business. Jane Breslin works hard to keep her professional and personal lives neatly separated. She’s struck up a flirty online friendship with lesbian romance author Brie, and what could be more romantic than falling in love with her favorite author? The only thing missing is her own real-life romance like the ones she loves to read about, and Rosie has an idea of who she might like to sweep her off her feet. And ever since she took over her mother’s beloved Manhattan bookstore, they’ve become her home too. From award-winning author Rachel Lacey comes a playful romance about a Manhattan bookstore owner and a reclusive author who love to hate-and hate to love-each other.īooks are Rosie Taft’s life.
