title: The Book Tour

author: Emily Ohanjanians

publisher: Dell

publication date: March 3, 2026

pages: 320

peppers:  (on this scale)

warnings:

summary: When podcaster Ana finds out on the publication day of her debut book that her publicist is leaving the company and Ryan will be replacing her on tour, she's not amused. Ryan has been nothing but unenthusiastic about Ana and her book...until he isn't.

tropes:

  • enemies-to-lovers
  • workplace rules
  • secret family
  • pushy parents

what I liked:

  • real reasons they can't be together
  • women who rule
  • competence
  • about an author

what I didn’t like:

  • for someone so smart and successful, she's quick to make assumptions.

overall rating: 4 (of 5 stars)

As always, you can click on the photo above if you want to buy the book.

WHAT I DO

I serve as a class dean and teach English to high schoolers at a boarding school in Connecticut. I’ve earned a Bachelor of Arts (Amherst College), an Education Master in Learning and Teaching (Harvard University Graduate School of Education), a Master of Arts in English (Bread Loaf School of English), and most recently a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing with a certificate in the online teaching of writing (Southern New Hampshire University).

As a writer, I hope to capture the complexity and joy of life in the New England boarding school world. On this site, I share what I know about trying to write fiction while deaning, teaching English, coaching, and doing the other tasks associated with helping to raise over six hundred other people’s children.
