Davis

Fontenot
Davis you had twelve romance novels on that Kindle
Davis
...moving on
Thompson
Fontenot you’re cleared. Mueller you have homework.
Kowalski
...alright. next order of business. group read.
Thompson
my top pick: “Off the Record.” workplace romance. a journalist and a press secretary meet anonymously at a party. they hook up. no names exchanged. Monday morning she walks into the briefing room and he’s standing behind the podium
Davis
anonymous hookup to workplace collision. strong premise. i’m in
Hájek
the anonymous meeting creates a kind of tension. this is interesting
Kowalski
workplace ethics ticking clock. the journalist has more career risk than the press secretary. power imbalance baked into the premise. i like it
Marchetti
that sounds... fine. sure. whatever. i’m in
Kowalski
You usually have more opinions
Marchetti
i said FINE. it sounds fine. normal book club pick. let’s read it
Kowalski
Okay….
Marchetti
i am ALWAYS this enthusiastic. this is baseline Marchetti
