Waiting on Wednesday: By the Book by Jasmine Guillory

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking The Spine where we highlight some of the upcoming books we can't wait to read! 

Title: By the Book
Author: Jasmine Guillory
Publisher: Hyperion Avenue
Publication Date: May 3rd, 2022

Summary: Isabelle is completely lost. When she first began her career in publishing right out of college, she did not expect to be twenty-five, living at home, still an editorial assistant, and the only Black employee at her publishing house. Overworked and underpaid, constantly torn between speaking up or stifling herself, Izzy thinks there must be more to this publishing life. So when she overhears her boss complaining about a beastly high-profile author who has failed to deliver his long-awaited manuscript, Isabelle sees an opportunity to finally get the promotion she deserves. All she has to do is go to the author’s Santa Barbara mansion and give him a quick pep talk or three. How hard could it be? But Izzy quickly finds out she is in over her head. Beau Towers is not some celebrity lightweight writing a tell-all memoir. He is jaded and withdrawn and—it turns out—just as lost as Izzy. But despite his standoffishness, Izzy needs Beau to deliver, and with her encouragement, his story begins to spill onto the page. They soon discover they have more in common than either of them expected, and as their deadline nears, Izzy and Beau begin to realize there may be something there that wasn't there before.

As someone who is a huge fan of Jasmine Guillory's books, I was really excited when I found out about this one! Not only that, but finding out that it's set in a publishing house just made it even more exciting for me, because I love books that are set in the field that I'm in. Jasmine Guillory's love stories never disappoint, and I'm eager to get my hands on a copy of this one, hopefully soon!
