Equal parts witty and steamy, this debut rom-com brings a healthy dose of queerness and a whole lot of spirit to a Pride and Prejudice-inspired enemies-to-lovers romance."Brims with heart, spice, and humor."--Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care"The L Word, but better."--TJ Alexander, author of Chef's Kiss"A juicy sapphic romp; sweet, sexy, and tender in all the right ways."--Gabrielle Korn, author of Everybody (Else) Is Perfect The only thing worse than hating your boss? Being attracted to her. Liz Baker and her three roommates work at the Nether Fields, a queer magazine in New York that's on the verge of shutting down--until it's bought at the last minute by two wealthy lesbians. Liz knows she's lucky to still have a paycheck but it's hard to feel grateful with minority investor Daria Fitzgerald slashing budgets, cancelling bagel Fridays, and password protecting the color printer to prevent "frivolous use." When Liz overhears Daria scoffing at her listicles, she knows that it's only a matter of time before her impulsive mouth gets herself fired. But as Liz and Daria wind up having to spend more and more time together, Liz starts to see a softer side to Daria--she's funny, thoughtful, and likes the way Liz's gender presentation varies between butch and femme. Despite the evidence that Liz can't trust her, it's hard to keep hating Daria--and even harder to resist the chemistry between them. This page-turning, sexy, and delightfully funny rom-com celebrates queer culture, chosen family, and falling in love against your better judgment.

Pickpick

Another cute rom-com about magazine Nether Fields and four roommates who work there. When the publication is suddenly bought out, Liz is devastated as she has little money and would rather devote her time to writing a novel. But when she falls for Daria (one of the investors) the proverbial love/hate relationship ensues. Funny and fast-paced, the novel is laugh-out-loud at some points. Loved every minute of it!
