Remy and Alicia are a millennial couple with bills, debt, and an unhealthy obsession of a woman named Jen. As I started reading the first page, A Touch of Jen sucked me and, two days and 300 pages later, mercilessly spat me back out. Just the beginning sentence, “Remy and Alicia, a couple of insecure service workers, are not particularly happy together” was intriguing. I briefly skimmed through the synopsis because I just wanted to see whether this was worth getting into. Of course, a great cover can only get so far until you have to read the actual book. I don’t know why – maybe some of you color theorists out there can help me out – but pink always grabs my attention. I, like many, am drawn to unique book covers, especially when they’re pink. Last week, I picked up Beth Morgan’s debut novel A Touch of Jen from the library last week. This year things began looking up, and my bank account stopped crying, when libraries reopened and I didn’t have to succumb to buying every book I was interested in.
