SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

Jorjeana Marie and Xe Sands's dual narration beautifully highlights the two points of view in this slow-burn romance. Emma is the world's best assistant to her boss, Jo, a Chinese-American woman who went from child star to writer and producer. When Emma and Jo are photographed laughing together on the red carpet, rumors about an affair spread like wildfire. Marie's youthful voice captures Emma's determination to become a director and her devotion to her work and her boss. Sands portrays Jo in a deeper voice, conveying her pride and ambition, along with her anxieties about her growing feelings toward Emma. Each narrator helps the listener feel the yearning as Emma and Jo slowly realize the tabloids have spotted something real way before they did.
