I recommend this to those who love romance, puppets, babysitting, bad contract negotiations, purple pens, and peanut butter smothered pop tarts. I couldn’t have asked for a better book to start the year off with. I loved how they were so clearly good for each other but because of their situation (and perfectly well meaning but terribly executed contract), they couldn’t really discuss how their feelings were changing. I’m always the slowest/last person to get a joke and most of the time it has to be explained to me.)īut overall, this had a great balance between comedy, drama, and romance. And there were some moments I suspected were supposed to be funny, but I felt left out of the joke. There were plenty of funny moments where I laughed out loud. But I really appreciated Jones and her and how Bexley tackled the topic of her crushing depression that can’t be solved with someone wanting to fix her. You can’t help but develop a little crush on her. Elsie is a quirky character with a great personality. This is an entertaining story about two flawed characters that come into each other’s lives and end up being the support they didn’t know they needed.

Jones Haelstrom’s father, head of Haelsrom media, passes away and she is forced to temporarily step in as acting CEO and take care of her much younger brother. She has is trying to renegotiate her contract to represent what she deserves but the suits continue to counter offer increasingly insulting terms. His mommy, Elsie, isn’t compensated nearly enough for creating the children’s show Fangley Heights. Lesbian Fiction Reviews House Reviewer, - : As with most of Hills work, the characters are likable and they feel real. Fangley is a popular little puppet vampire that brings in high ratings for Haelstrom Media. No Strings is a good read, in a great setting, and theres even a dog.
