She was bullied and didn’t have many friends back home in Washington. The book starts with Bex arriving in LA and seeing it for the first time. (And there are little bits of The Brightsiders in this book.) Going Off Script was just as good and Jen Wilde is now an auto buy author for me. I read The Brightsiders last year and loved it. Going Off Script was one of the contemporary books I was most looking forward to this year.
Jen Wilde’s newest novel is both a fun, diverse love story and a very relevant, modern take on the portrayal of LGBT characters in media. Unfortunately, the internship isn’t quite what she expected… instead of sitting in a crowded writer’s room volleying ideas back and forth, Production Interns are stuck picking up the coffee.ĭetermined to prove her worth as a writer, Bex drafts her own script and shares it with the head writer―who promptly reworks it and passes it off as his own!

It’s time for Bex and her crush to fight back. Seventeen-year-old Bex is thrilled when she gets an internship on her favorite tv show, Silver Falls. A TV writer’s room intern must join forces with her crush to keep her boss from ruining a lesbian character in this diverse contemporary YA romance from the author of Queens of Geek.
