Everybody''s talking about Whitman ''Win'' Tagore and Leo Milanowski. Their on-off
Trade ReviewA pure delight! Effortlessly
cool, razor sharp, and crazy fun - I couldn't put it down. It is
Notting Hill for 2021, an absolute crowd pleaser -- Taylor Jenkins Reid
Escapist, suspenseful, razor sharp and very unusual.
I loved the chemistry between the two protagonists and flew through the book because I was dying to know what happens -- Frances Cha
An absolutely stellar debut with tension that crackles and prose that sings,
The View Was Exhausting is
the complex, Hollywood love story we've all been waiting for. Clements and Datta have crafted a book that's as heartfelt and earnest as it is sharp and surprising - I couldn't get enough -- Emily Henry
Deft, funny and tender,
The View Was Exhausting is
as smart as it is swoon-worthy - this is exactly the book you should be reading right now -- Julia Armfield
A glittering, swoon-worthy love story that's also about the intersections of power, representation, fame and privilege. It's funny and warm and gorgeously written and I'm calling it now as
the beach read of the summer or, if we're all stuck inside, the escapist read of the summer, because reading this I was totally swept away -- Jane Healey
A book to read in the sun with a glass of wine and nothing else to do all day.
Fun, sexy and totally gripping -- Laura Kay
A sexy, scorching treat - fresh and ultra modern, I devoured it -- Victoria Gosling
I read it all in one morning and couldn't put it down once . . .
The View Was Exhausting is enormously sophisticated, tension held like a net, as it slowly holds the reader closer and closer to a fire, and I laughed many times. It's
an absolute tour de force, and Win is now one of my new favorite protagonists ever -- Tamsyn Muir
Sweeps you up into the tilt-a-whirl of Hollywood relationships, and what happens when the line between fake and real begins to blur. This
richly drawn romance is, crucially, also a journey through the unjust rules forced upon women - especially women of color - who dare to play the fame game. It's
timely, touching, and a tantalizing love story -- Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan (aka The Fug Girls)
