Perfect for fans of Emily Henry - Bad Publicity is a bold, brilliant romance with a big emotional beating heart and a protagonist you won't be able to help falling in love with as you turn the pages. This one's going to absolutely thrill the TikTok girlies. -- Rebecca Reid
I adored this pitch-perfect, Emily Henry meets Josie Silver, rom-com. Andie and Jack are such rich characters and the fabulous cities they visit are the ideal backdrop to their romance, ensuring that, despite the sensitively-handled theme of grief, Bad Publicity remains an escapist, uplifting read. I found Gillam's writing so evocative. I was particularly moved by the chess-playing scene in Paris; it was beautifully wrought and will stay with me for some time. -- Nicole Kennedy
Heartfelt, relatable, fresh and oozing with intrigue, Bad Publicity ticks a lot of boxes. I flew through it; I adored it. I want to rediscover this gem all over again. -- Lizzie Damilola Blackburn, author of Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?
