just as charming on a re-read, i didn't cry this time because i was more prepared. loved being able to discuss with the BDTB crew for 2022 #Bangittarius Sagittarius Season Romance Challenge.

Jones Haelstrom was only supposed to fly to NYC to attend her father's funeral. Jones only spent that one summer with her father as an intern at Haelstrom Media, but now it seems she's set to helm the company, take on the care of her 6 year old half-brother, and try to get the talented, funny, and absolutely slightly infuriating lead puppeteer of the network's hit kids' show Fangley Heights to sign her new contract.

Elsie Webb is ready to walk and willing to walk off with her puppet and her talent, but something about new temporary head of Haelstrom Media keeps her coming back to work. Everything about Jones screams sexy, uptight, and starchy, and Elsie would love to unravel her.

But as Elsie gets to know Jones and Jones' half-brother, maybe she won't want to stick around for just Fangley Heights anymore either...

This damn book with a puppet mouth cover made me cry. Very tender, yet hilarious and snarky, I loved the way grief for someone you barely had a relationship with was handled.

Delightful - more from this author please.
