Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner
3.0

So this book took me a while to get into, but it was a quick, sweet read. I liked that there was an older love interest. Jo’s cool, elegant, and at the top of the game in her career. I pictured @themichelewang as Jo. I was slightly concerned for Jo’s constant coffee consumption, though. ⠀

Emma was... boring. Nothing remarkable or funny. Emma felt rushed compared to Jo. I did like that we got some Jewish representation. Emma- she goes to Temple and celebrates Jewish holidays with her family. ⠀

Is it just me or is it a thing in contemporary romances for the bff of the protagonist to be extremely successful? Avery is an amazing pastry chef, with a bakery, twins, and 3 dogs, in LA. Oh and she has time to hang out with her sister whenever.
