V for Vanessa

Thông tin sách: V for Vanessa (Paperback, 127 trang) – Independently published, 2018. Ngôn ngữ: Tiếng Anh.

The timeline for this short story overlaps with the first half of Book Two in the Love After Death series, but is perhaps best appreciated after finishing Book Three. Although this is Vanessa and Emily’s love story, the past relationships between Emily and Layla as well as Vanessa and Irene are also featured. Vanessa allows herself approximately one percent of her waking time for life outside of her job as the manager of the world-famous Phoenix band. With that one percent she visits her home base in Austin and oversees the operations of the V Club that she owns. Within that small window of time, she enacts the second half of the princess clause, which includes spoiling a young 20-year-old, sleeping with her, and leaving the next morning to return to her duties as band manager. No more, no less. Emily is the socialite of her church and knows everything fun that anyone is willing to share with her. She has just come out to her best friend Layla, who readily supported her efforts to find a girlfriend and endorsed the V Club as a good place to start. However, after a last minute cancellation results in Emily sitting at the V Club alone, being selected as the princess of the night is the last thing Emily expected. This story explores the relationship between Vanessa, a workaholic cougar of 40, and Emily, a young busybody of 20 who wants nothing more than the attention of someone who has eyes only for her.
