The Dirty Version A feminist enemies-to-lovers romance

Heat rises and sparks fly in this delicious 'enemies-to-lovers' debut, when a love-cynic author and a suspiciously handsome intimacy coordinator are thrown together to write steamy new scenes for a TV series based on her hit novel.

Tash was thrilled when the dramatic rights to her surprise-hit feminist dystopian novel were snapped up. But now a big-shot Hollywood director has taken charge, and he wants 'the dirty version' of her book.

Despite her best efforts to stall, the studio assigns Tash its golden-boy intimacy coordinator to help her add spice to the script. Tash resents Caleb from the first sentence they write together, but as the story continues, the romantic tension spills off the page.

Just when Tash feels it's all coming together, the whole plot falls apart. Can she find a way to save the show and her own love story, or are both lost forever?

The Dirty Version is compulsively readable exploration of women's rage and desire, fraught mother-daughter bonds and the complex gender dynamics of Hollywood and the media industry. Timely and thought-provoking while also sexy and fun, the novel is perfect for fans of Emily Henry's Book Lovers, Curtis Sittenfeld's Romantic Comedy and Annabel Monaghan's Nora Goes Off Script.

'Bold, smart, with a heroine I loved and lots of interesting things to say about sex, art and entertainment' BETH O'LEARY, bestselling author of The Flatshare and The Road Trip

'An of-the-moment conversation about power, sex and the representation of female sexuality in entertainment and art... Caleb's chemistry with Tash hooked me from the start' ROBBIE TAYLOR HUNT, Intimacy Coordinator for Netflix's You and BBC's Everything I Know About Love

'Savvy, sexy and sharp, The Dirty Version couples head-over-heels, multilayered romance with nuanced commentary on the media industry and contemporary feminism. Gable Kahn's elegant, witty writing captivated us on every page' EMILY WIBBERLEY and AUSTIN SIEGEMUND-BROKA, authors of The Roughest Draft

'Sexy, immersive and so, so smart - a truly layered read. Gable Kahn masterfully tackles the constant and varied misogyny women face in society head-on, while also portraying a real, beautifully flawed MC. I love this book!' NEELY TUBATI ALEXANDER, author of In A Not So Perfect World and Courtroom Drama
