Back in the Day by Katrina Jackson
I’m back my darlings! It’s been awhile but I’m back with book two in the Bay Area Blues duo. It’s a fantastic novella written by an incredibly talented author and you need to read it. It is a forever reread for me! Just a note that this book deals with grief and death of parent (off-page).
This episode I’m talking about the brilliant Katrina Jackson and her incredible novella, Layover. You need to read it!! I do spoil it so apologies in advance. It’s only 99 pages so grab it on kindle!

Nailing Those Extracurriculars: "Office Hours" by Katrina Jackson
Hi friends! On this episode, we discuss Office Hours by Katrina Jackson. So for whatever reason, Meg and I were in the mood for something angsty, and this sweet workplace romance with a burnt out tenure track sociology professor and her immaculately dressed colleague was not the least bit angsty. So while we went into this one with the wrong mindset, we did love the heroine and found her experiences painfully relatable. Spoilers ahead!

Episode 91: Summa Cum Laude — Office Hours by Katrina Jackson
This week, Morgan and Isabeau audit a few classes with Katrina Jackson’s ivory tower romp, Office Hours. High-achieving and beleaguered Assistant Professor of Sociology Dr. Deja Evans is in a rut. With her 3-year track to tenure review looming, her separation between work and life has blurred into non-existence. But her desire for the tenured history professor and dressed-to-the-nines hunk of all things past, Dr. Alejandro Mendoza, is keeping her pilot light aflame. What’s a proper work/life balance? Can a romance novel test the depth of our allyship? Why does higher education make us feel so low? This one’s for all y’all left jilted by the educational-industrial-complex.
