Intersection

For Catarina, there's no greater punishment than working with a picky guy. Except falling in love with him. Intersection is a novel full of humor and representation, about two very different people trying to find common ground.

Catarina has an aversion to only two things: admitting she's wrong and men with biblical names. Until she's forced to share a room too small to accommodate her stubbornness and the ego of her new coworker: JPS, the third item recently added to her list of aversions.

Determined not to make life easy for JPS, she keeps a close eye on him, monitoring his every move, bringing out his worst self. And spending so much time in the irritating company of her new colleague makes Catarina think that maybe he's not so bad. Or so boring. Or so incompetent.

Now, Catarina and JPS must work together on an important project before the worst happens. Before they kill each other? No. Before they fall in love.

"Vanessa's voice is unique. She writes prose that reads like poetry. Romance that's as entertaining as comedy. Intersection is a must-read for anyone who loves characters perfectly captivating in their imperfections!" - Gabriela Graciosa Guedes, author of First Bad Impressions

“ Intersection is a gift for those who love romance, especially for those who love reading; it's a Brazilian romantic comedy.” - Debora Theobald, columnist for the Valkirias website

"Representation isn't a script tool; it's just another detail in the composition of a rich character, and this is perhaps a very relevant and under-recognized way of addressing the representation of a minority population. And this is what most sets Vanessa Reis's writing apart." - Anna Carolina Ribeiro, author of Anima Mundi

"In Intersection , Vanessa Reis plays with the romantic comedy genre. It's a captivating story, with characters that could be the people around us (especially the supporting characters, all incredible!), it's pure and simple fun, as satisfying as a strong, tight hug." - Leandro Faria, author of Natureza perversa
