New to GR. Interested in beta reading romance or YA. Favorite authors include Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Jenny Crusie, Sarah Dessen, Melina Marchetta, Johanna Lindsey, Julie Garwood, Jude Deveraux. I do NOT like sci-fi/fantasy. Please message if you have something you think I might like.

Hi, would you be interested in reading a fast-paced, chicklit/speculative fiction with a time travel twist. It is 217 pages (61K words) and should be a fast read. I am not looking for grammar or spelling corrections as I have a copy editor lined up to do this, just need reviewers to let me know if something is missing, the plot doesn't make sense, or I need to explain something further. If you are interested, please email me. Here's a summary:
Meet Sylvia Blair, an executive and editorial assistant navigating the pressures of the publishing industry in 2014. Overworked and underappreciated, Sylvia grapples with the weight of her personal and professional life. From a demanding female boss to a suffocating relationship, Sylvia's journey is a testament to the modern woman's struggle for balance and she finds herself questioning the progress of feminism in a world still plagued by inequality and abuse.
Sylvia's story is more than just workplace woes. Haunted by past losses - a distant father, a mother's death to cancer when Sylvia was a child - Sylvia's world is turned upside down when a chance encounter with a friend and an ancient medallion, leads to a mystical journey through time.
Transported from the City of Toronto to the gritty streets of 1978 Manhattan, Sylvia is thrust into a world vastly different from her own. Amidst the neon lights and bustling crowds, Sylvia grapples with the realities of a bygone era, where workplace dynamics are rife with sexism and female empowerment is still a distant dream.
As Sylvia navigates this unfamiliar landscape, she encounters a colorful cast of characters who shape her journey in unexpected ways. From her enigmatic mentor Ralph, battling AIDS in a time of uncertainty, to the predatory Ronald Reeves, son of the president of Reeves Publishers, and to Druenella Schoeslberg, a character she wrote in an unfinished manuscript that has come to life.
Through moments of heartache and reflection, Sylvia learns valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, and the importance of staying true to oneself. Please note - there is a workplace sexual assault incident in the book in one chapter.
