Publisher Description
First, there's only one office. Then, there's only one bed. Then, there's only one condom.
I'm over the moon when I land my first-ever writing job on a new TV show that's like, da bomb. So what if my old boss twisted her son's arm to get me the job?
I'm not so enthused when I have to share an office the size of a broom closet with a grumpy guy who ignores me. I don't care if he's totally fly. I've got enough on my plate trying to come up with high concept storylines and punchy dialogue for hormone-filled teenagers—the actors and the characters—while being hazed in the writers' room.
Things begin to heat up between us on a work trip to the gorgeous coastal filming location for our show, but when a hurricane threatens, sharing an office is the last thing we need to worry about.
Fans of TV shows like Dawson's Creek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will love this throwback 1990's forced proximity, partners to lovers, road trip romcom with an unconventionally geeky hero.
Customer Reviews
A great side story from the Carolina Classics series
If you’re looking for a great, quick read from a brilliant author, then look no further! I’ve actually read this one several times (beta, arc in Smartasses, and now arc before solo/independent release). I love it even more each time! This is an excellent addition to the Carolina Classics series, but not necessary to read it with the other books - works as a standalone. Karen Grey is awesome and everyone should pick up this novella, and pick up all of her works!
Two script writers for the new Lawson’s Reach series (takes place in ‘98, a “take” on Dawson’s Creek), from LA taking a trip to the Carolina’s where it’s shooting. A hurricane (and tornado) cause everyone having to evacuate, cause Tina and George to be forced into actually speaking, working together during the storm, getting to fully know each other, and realizing they actually like each other... George hides a personal quirk from Tina that people generally send him to therapy for, but she takes it in stride. Tina withdrew when George basically ignored her from the first minute, so it’s a big deal that they finally clear the air.
This novella takes place concurrently with book 1 in Grey’s Carolina Classics series, “You Get What You Give” (if you read the book you will understand the overlap, but in no way does either need to be read to understand the other).
Love it just as much with a second and third full read through! My second re-read was with a re-read of You Get What You Give. Third was on its own.
I received an advance copy of this book from Karen Grey, and this is my honest feedback.
