Produktbeschreibung

Younger meets Writers and Lovers in this rollicking, sparkling, and funny romantic comedy that spans decades and generations of family in the publishing industry. In the post-pandemic publishing industry, two rival editors are forced to share a "hot desk" on different days of the week, much to their chagrin. Having never set eyes on each other, they begin leaving passive-aggressive Post-it notes on the pot of their shared (and reviled) cactus. But when revered literary legend Edward David Adams (known as "the Lion") dies, leaving his estate up for grabs, their banter escalates as both work feverishly to land this career-making opportunity. Their fierce rivalry ultimately forces them to make decisions about what role they want to play in the Lion's legacy, as well as in each other's lives. As their battle for the estate gets more heated, we go back in time and are introduced to Jane and Rose, two strong, talented best friends trying to gain entry and make a mark of their own in the publishing world of 1980s New York at a time when art, the written word, and creative expression were all at their height and nearly within reach. But one fateful night during the blizzard of 1982 will change the course of one of their lives forever… Set in both the nostalgic and electric vibrancy of 1980s Manhattan and contemporary New York's post-pandemic high-rises, Hot Desk is a funny, sexy, unexpectedly moving novel that weaves a contemporary workplace romance with a gripping historical narrative and tackles important questions about appropriation, sexism, and who has the right to tell their story.
