This book hooked me from the start. A queer journalist living in NYC who can't afford it and just wants to be a "real writer" (our MC/narrator Liz) hopes that the queer magazine they're working for will go under so they can jump-start the writing career they've always wanted. Until a rich lesbian (Bailey) decides to buy the magazine and work toward solving the impending financial issues the magazine has been experiencing for some time. Bailey has a sidekick and financial advisor, though, (Daria) who appears to be the coldest, angriest person Liz has ever met. Desperate attempts to revive the magazine are attempted by Liz and their coworkers/friends, and it will come as no surprise to romance readers that Liz and Daria (though they do not like each other in the beginning) are forced into workplace and social situations together that ultimately bring them closer together.

Grumpy x Sunshine, Enemies-to-Lovers, miscommunications abound! Lots of my personal favorite tropes make an appearance here. Our MC is also battling with questions about their identity - gender, heteronormative standards of society...you name it. And boy, did that hit a soft spot for me. The language used surrounding queerness and identity, and the way queer friendships are represented throughout this book are everything to me.
