Description
“By The Book is in my hands and I could not be any more excited to celebrate it! Jasmine is on a short list of my tried and true comfort-read authors. I don’t know how she manages to weave such depth into her characters while still making the whole reading experience feel SO GOOD AND NICE but she does, every single time.” ―Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read Accolades USA Today Bestseller An Amazon Book of the Month An Amazon Best Book of 2022 An Apple Best Book of 2022 The Root Books We Can’t Wait to Read Bustle Most Anticipated Book Buzzfeed Best Book Harper’s Bazaar Best Romantic Books of 2022 Sometimes to truly know a person, you have to read between the lines. Isabelle is completely lost. When she first began her career in publishing after college, she did not expect to be twenty-five, still living at home, and one of the few Black employees at her publishing house. Overworked and underpaid, constantly torn between speaking up or stifling herself, Izzy thinks there must be more to this publishing life. So when she overhears her boss complaining about a beastly high-profile author who has failed to deliver his long-awaited manuscript, Isabelle sees an opportunity to finally get the promotion she deserves. All she has to do is go to the author’s Santa Barbara mansion and give him a pep talk or three. How hard could it be? But Izzy quickly finds out she is in over her head. Beau Towers is not some celebrity lightweight writing a tell-all memoir. He is jaded and withdrawn and―it turns out―just as lost as Izzy. But despite his standoffishness, Izzy needs Beau to deliver, and with her encouragement, his story begins to spill onto the page. They soon discover they have more in common than either of them expected, and as their deadline nears, Izzy and Beau begin to realize there may be something there that wasn’t there before. Best-selling author Jasmine Guillory’s achingly romantic reimagining of a classic is a tale as old as time . . . for a new generation.

“By The Book” is such a charming read! I love the very vague nod to a beloved Disney classic that has been updated for current sensibilities. I love the characters and how organic their romance is. I even love the cheekiness of a writer writing about a writer writing! Less enchanting are the editing fails, but the storytelling rescues this disappointment. I thoroughly enjoy this author!

I never know what will happen when I read a book by a new author, especially when it revolves around a book challenge. I knew from the beginning that this book was going to be a winner, and that I had found a new favored author. The characters come alive in this novel. I look forward to reading more from Jasmine Guillory.

This book had me cheesing right from the beginning. I loved everything about it and finished it in 24 hours. This was such a beautifully done story that had me shouting at the end because my man Beau came through in the best of ways. Yes you can absolutely predict how this is going to turn out but that doesn’t change how great the book is. Jasmine did such a great job of those beauty and the beast type of references. This is definitely a book I won’t mind reading over and over. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this and can’t wait to read more from Jasmine.
