In MARLOWE BANKS, REDESIGNED, aspiring costume designer Marlowe Banks is stuck in a dead-end assistant job on the set of popular (if drawn-out) tv series. Haunted by her previous failures, Marlowe has convinced herself this is the best she can do. After a cliche'd "Oops I spilled hot coffee on you!' and impromptu casting as a background character, Marlowe finds herself sharing a smoldering (and viral) stare down with the tv series lead, Angus.

Soon, Marlowe finds herself becoming friends with the man she initially cast as shallow and mean-- and as she discovers the good and bad side of living your life in public, she manages to do a few of things: find confidence in herself and her designer abilities, become a better friend to her amazing coworker Cherry, and fall in love with someone who can't guarantee privacy.

The frenemies to lovers trope was thoughtfully and skillfully written, and I loved how the relationship between Marlowe and Angus felt like it developed naturally. The characters were real and flawed, and even when they weren't likable they were relatable. This book is charming and was such a joy to read!
