DEBUT Hallie loved her job before a disastrous relationship with a coworker derailed her career; now she’s a producer without a show. Then Hallie is offered the opportunity to compete against her toxic ex to win funding for a production budget; to prevail, she knows she must find the right show to champion. Hayden Hargrove, host of the podcast The Out There, where he shares his passion for cryptids and conspiracy theories, is just the ticket. When the quirky, blue-haired Hallie approaches him about adapting the podcast into a show, Hayden and his therapist think it’s a chance he has to take. He also thinks Hallie’s refreshing skepticism and witty banter will help make the series a success. As the pair look into various conspiracies and even go on a hunt for Bigfoot, they find that love might be out there too.
VERDICT Hand Marlowe’s debut to readers who love humorous banter, forced-proximity and one-bed tropes, and a couple who support each other through their personal journeys.
