About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Bad Publicity by Bianca Gillam, read by Lucy Boynton.

‘If you love a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers rom-com with plenty of chemistry, then this is the book for you.’ Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year

Yesterday they were just exes.
Today they’re a writer and a publicist... on tour in Europe... for a month.

When Andie lands her dream job as a senior book publicist, she’s ready to take the world of New York publishing by storm.

Until her first day, when she discovers that her biggest author is Jack Carlson – the same Jack who ruined her life in university. Who she hasn’t spoken to in five years. Who is not only still infuriatingly hot but incredibly successful. And whose campaign she definitely cannot mess up, if she wants to keep her job.

To make matters even worse, the central part of this career-defining campaign is a book tour. For a month, Andie will have to travel across Europe with the man who, if she were being totally honest, she’d like to hit with her car.

But she will not lose this opportunity, especially not because of him. One month on tour with Jack Carlson, visiting some of the most romantic spots in Europe. Deep breath. She can do this.

‘Filled with heart, humour, and the swoon-worthy moments every romance reader craves, this book is a gorgeous debut for Bianca Gillam. I can’t wait to see what she writes next!’ Laurie Gilmore

'A delightful blend of humour and heart. Gillam's enemies-to-lovers workplace romance sizzles with tension and swoon-worthy moments.' Bal Khabra

'Perfect for fans of Emily Henry – Bad Publicity is a bold, brilliant romance with a big emotional beating heart and a protagonist you won't be able to help falling in love with as you turn the pages. This one's going to absolutely thrill the TikTok girlies.' (Rebecca Reid)
