It Takes Two to Tidy by Jessica Lin
Josh Tan needs to finish the latest album he’s producing. Instead of putting on his headphones and making beats, he’s faced with dusty vinyl records that need to be cleared out of his beloved father’s office after his unexpected death. With his sister busy with a newborn and his mother’s own grief and declining health, he has to get the family house ready for sale. He’s working through his grief with his therapist, but he needs help getting rid of cherished mementos that won’t fit in his small apartment.
Enter Shelly Chou, a professional organizer who has never met a problem she can’t solve and file away in her color-coded binder. But she wasn’t expecting to bond with her latest client over green tea and their shared experiences growing up with immigrant Chinese American parents. They begin sorting through boxes, photo albums, and memories together, but images of Josh’s strong arms begin popping up in her dreams.
Falling for a client is definitely NOT part of her five-year plan. Her parents thought she was mad for leaving a stable job to start her own business. Armed with her trusty label maker, Shelly knows she can expand her client base and do it all on her own. But what will she do when she’s confronted by someone who’s definitely sparking joy (and then some)?
IT TAKES TWO TO TIDY is Marie Kondo meets SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. IT TAKES TWO TO TIDY is a 50,000-word contemporary romance with two Chinese American protagonists.
