Hot of the Press is a book I will long remember. The subject matter, the loss of a parent resonated with me as I am an orphan. The relationship between parent and child is immeasurable as is the grief and how we see things in the wake of loss, grief and the sometimes myopic view of childhood.Ms. Nadeau did an excellent job of capturing the essence of the loss and how a sense of hope and rebirth can rise from tragedy. The fact that the story takes place in at a newspaper is simply ingenious. Every day at a newspaper the reality is clear: The world moves on.Ms. Nadeau created such wonderful cast of characters that were so real that I almost imagine them as friends. Her hero was a marvel to watch. Her heroine grew and changed in such wonderful ways by the end of the book. The sex was molten hot!The plot was perfect in pitch, relevance it was an excellent read all around.  When Meline asked me to read her uncorrected galley I was humbled. When I purchased the book and reread it the effect was the same. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
