The emotional part of me is looking for a story that moves me or stirs something inside me…something I can imagine thinking about and working on for years (because that's what it takes to get a TV show on the air).Andrea Mara’s book lit up both my practical and emotional sides. The twists and turns are relentless, and the ending is so much fun. But emotionally speaking, I was really drawn into the relationship between Marissa and Jenny, and all the story could say about working mothers, and the loads they carry. As soon as I finished the book, I knew I had to adapt it.
