HOT AIR
Marcy Dermansky
The cover of HOT AIR is indicative of what you’ll find inside.
HOT AIR stars (don’t make me list all of their names, please) Joannie. Joannie is a date. He’s an auto-generated character, and his name doesn’t matter. Just know he has a pool. And he’s a bad kisser. So they’re on a date, and some other couple lands in a hot air balloon in his pool.
Joannie thinks this other guy who landed in the pool might be a better kisser. Although he is married, and his wife landed in the pool in the hot air balloon with him, everything and everyone is on the table tonight.
This is very confusing to the man we’ll call Man #1. Who cares what Man #2 thinks? The wife is well, that’s the book.
HOT AIR is possibly the worst book I’ve read in 2025. Out of 65 books, this is the worst.
The character names are purposefully confusing. That was just annoying. I did not care about one single character, one single storyline, or one single aspect.
There is nothing in this book.
The cover is magnificent. Just look at it. That’s all. It’s not meant for reading. It’s not meant to give thought, it’s not meant for discussion, it’s not even meant for book reviews.
The book is full of HOT AIR.
Thanks to Netgalley, Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor | Knopf for the advanced copy!
HOT AIR…⭐️⭐️
