Love, Hate & Clickbait: A Novel

"Well, it’s about two guys working on a political campaign and they eventually fall in love. The main character, Thom, is this extremely ambitious cold-hearted guy political consultant who absolutely just hates this other guy, Clay, who works in tech. Of course, over the course of the novel, Thom starts to fall for him because they have to pretend to be together for the sake of the campaign—and trouble ensues. It has some of the best sex scenes that I’ve ever read. I feel like the mechanics of it and the language that she uses is very clear and sensual. It’s also really funny and I truly enjoyed it! I haven’t read it yet, but I’m excited to read my friend James Acker’s book, The Long Run , which came out in February. He’s a screenwriter, and I’m always excited when screenwriters venture into novel writing because I really enjoy amazing, constructed scenes. I know that he’s going to do an excellent job with this. As for books that I’ve read this year, I haven’t been reading as many 2023 releases as I’d like to. I did read You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky, who is another friend of mine. At the beginning of the year, I wanted to focus more on holiday reads , so I read that one and can’t recommend it enough."
