What to expect
It's 2005, and Ali is a publicist for Hollywood's biggest stars. Part of her job entails keeping gay celebrities in the closet-which is pretty ironic, since she's a lesbian herself.
When Ali is assigned a new client, Cara Bisset, upcoming star of a (hetero) romantic blockbuster, keeping Cara's sexuality under wraps becomes Ali's biggest challenge yet.
Bold, unpredictable Cara hates that she has to hide such an integral aspect of her identity, and after a series of increasingly close calls, Ali is sent on her worldwide promotional tour to help with her image. Instead, she finds herself drawn to Cara's confidence and bravery.
For the past year, Ali has been consumed by grief after unexpectedly losing her partner. But with Cara, Ali's fears about the world subside, and she begins to question the Hollywood closeting system that she contributes to.
As Cara's fame rises, both Ali and Cara have to decide which is more important: success or a chance at true love?

'Cover Story is everything you want a rom-com to be-hilarious, heartbreaking, sexy, and filled with early aughts nostalgia. I defy anyone to not be swept off their feet by Hollywood heartthrob Cara Bisset' LAURA KAY, author of MAKING IT
