Rezensionen

"The funniest novel I've read in ages!! But also the most romantic!! Hot Desk had me, by turns, laughing and swooning. This is a comedy of manners for anyone who loves Curtis Sittenfeld, Nora Ephron, Alison Espach or, well, anyone. So spot-on in its depiction of literary world mores, I nearly sprained my neck nodding in recognition. I challenge any reader not to fall in love with this charming debut."-Joanna Rakoff, bestelling author of MY SALINGER YEAR
