This was a sweet, slow burn romance featuring Emma, a bisexual Jewish woman, and Jo, a lesbian Asian American woman, that didn't shy away from touching on the intersectional issues of sexism, racism, and  homophobia in Hollywood (and society in general). 

The power imbalance between an employer and employee (Emma is Jo's assistant) is something I personally was concerned about going into this, but it was handled with care, making a point to never cross an inappropriate line - something that Jo in particular is very aware of the entire time and influences many of her choices. This is especially important considering that the #MeToo movement is a prominently addressed issue. 

Aside from blossoming feelings between Emma and Jo, family relationships and friendships are a large part of what makes this story so appealing, as well as the strength that comes with believing other women and supporting them during times of personal crisis.
