The Bookish Life of Nina Hill meets Younger in a heartfelt debut following a young woman who discovers she'll have to ditch the "dream job" and write her own story to find her happy ending.
Meet Nora Hughes―the overworked, underpaid, last bookish assistant standing. At least for now.
When Nora landed an editorial assistant position at Parsons Press, it was her first step towards The Dream Job. Because, honestly, is there anything dreamier than making books for a living? But after five years of lunch orders, finicky authors, and per my last emails, Nora has come to one grand conclusion: Dream Jobs do not exist.
With her life spiraling and the Parsons staff sinking, Nora gets hit with even worse news. Parsons is cutting her already unlivable salary. Unable to afford her rent and without even the novels she once loved as a comfort, Nora decides to moonlight for a rival publisher to make ends meet...and maybe poach some Parsons' authors along the way.
But when Andrew Santos, a bestselling Parsons author no one can afford to lose is thrown into the mix, Nora has to decide where her loyalties lie. Her new Dream Job, ever-optimistic Andrew, or...herself and her future.
Nora Hughes is the perfect heroine for anyone looking to get past their own chapter twenty-something and build their storybook life.

Tyra Kennedy narrates the story of a young woman who is slowly realizing her worth as a professional and as a person. Twenty-something Nora Hughes has been an editorial assistant at Parsons Press for five years and has come to realize that her job is neither emotionally fulfilling nor financially sustainable. Kennedy gently unveils the soul-crushing truth of unfulfilled dreams and looming depression that Nora slowly admits to herself, making it easy to relate and sympathize through the compassion in her delivery. The difficult topics of job satisfaction and mental health that Nora must address are narrated in a calm and thoughtful manner, lessening the stress inherent in these topics. A caring and reassuring performance. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
