Comedic Timing

This is the latest (third!) 831 Stories book and (as I had predicted), I gobbled it up in a single Friday evening sitting. I love these shorter-length modern romance novellas! Naina has moved to New York City for a fresh start after breaking up with her older, controlling girlfriend. She doesn’t know a soul besides her new coworkers and her new friend Christian (a friend of a friend from Chicago). She has a new apartment and a new roommate and is intent on building her way to a creative career she loves (she works in marketing but aspires to be a writer). When she meets David, they have an immediate, very unexpected connection. But this has her questioning everything, especially her identity. And is this new relationship a romantic one or a professional one? And if Naina, a gay woman, is so drawn to this man, what does that mean about her sexuality? I liked this book a lot. Romance aside, it reminded me of what it is like to be young in New York and what it was like doing a day job that paid the bills while trying to create my own career.
