Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

5.0

Thank you very much to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book

Listen. I freaking adored this book.
Here's what you can expect: A fierce chinese-american lesbian protagonist, a caring and fiery bi protagonist, lots and lots and lots and lots of pining.

Isn't that what we all need in our lives? Fierce women who are so very clueless and chaotic when it comes to having a relationship? Let me tell you, I knew that this book was going to be a five star read for me at about chapter 3. Hands down. And I was not disappointed.

The book is written from the viewpoint of both protagonists (so you get double the pining, double the chaos and double the disaster) and each of them has such a distinct and lovely voice that it's hard not to absolutely fall in love with Jo and Emma. When rumors about them start up after they have been photographed laughing at each other at an awards ceremony red carpet, they slowly start falling for each other while simultaneously trying to keep up a professional work relationship and avoid gossip from the press and their co-workers.

It is an absolute delight to read and I actively paused after a couple of chapters so that I could drag reading this out - that is how much I loved it.

I heartily recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance and strong characters (so basically, everyone).

Happy reading!
