Bad Words

Ready for a little romance among all the powerhouse literary fiction this fall? Bad Words is the perfect slow burn.

Parker Navarro's debut novel was supposed to launch him to literary stardom until one devastating review by the beautiful critic Selina Chan brought every hope crashing down. Years later, his second novel lands on her desk; she sharpens her pen all over again, and the two of them spark a feud that goes wildly viral. You simply cannot look away while this house burns.

Fun, sharp, and so much smarter than it needs to be, this romance is packed with publishing drama, razor-sharp banter, and one of the most satisfying enemies-to-lovers stories I've read in a long time. Put this one at the top of your list.
