All The Emma Rosenblum Books You Should Read Before They Become TV Shows
These and a cup of hot tea.
Putting down your phone before bed and opting for a good book is supposed to be the key to a restful night, but sometimes the pages are so juicy I want to stay up all night anyway. This is a champagne problem I’ve encountered several times when indulging in books by author Emma Rosenblum. Do you want to feel like a fly on the wall, stuck smack dab in the middle of the webs wealthy people weave? Then Emma’s delectably dark lineup of dramas is for you.
With her first novel, Bad Summer People, being turned into a TV show that people are calling the next White Lotus, I figured it was time to acquaint my literary betches with her money-hungry mysteries right on time for her next banger, dropping this summer. This Emma Rosenblum reading list needs your attention.

Bad Summer People: TV Show Details
When a body is found on the boardwalk of a fictional coastal town, secrets, lies, and everything in between come out between four longtime friends. The TV show version, made by A+E Studios, is now in development. The always iconic Sarah Michelle Gellar is starring in the adaptation, and my guess is she’s playing one of the two BFFs/enemies that all the town drama revolves around, Jen and Lauren.

Very Bad Company
Giving a little bit Succession, and a little bit Silicon Valley, this book follows company newbie Caitlin Levy on her first company retreat for tech startup Aurora. Except, right when Caitlin is finding her sea legs, one of her colleagues goes missing, and the trip switches from company bonding to corporate espionage and cover-ups that go much deeper than Caitlin could’ve guessed after signing her start paperwork. If you’re secretly plotting your annoying co-worker or micro-managing boss’ downfall, this could be your perfect literary escape.
