My casting for This Close to Okay

I love to read and when I do I cast the movie adaptation in my mind. I review books here by sharing my casting. Next up … This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith. It’s the story or a recently divorced therapist who one night in October finds a man on the edge of a bridge about to jump. She persuades him to get coffee with her which leads to them spending a weekend together healing. It’s a great book and could make a great movie. My casting is -

Tallie - Gabrielle Union

Emmett - Daveed Diggs

Ben Tanzer's stories are both familiar and surprising, a scarf and a knife. Stories full of people we know, love. People we don't want to know, don't want to love. Stories full of desire and sadness and almost. Stories over beers and tequila, stories inside sex and storms. Ben! He is one of my favorites for all sorts of reasons and one of those reasons is yes and another is hell yes.

The New York Stories is awesome blurb from the endlessly awesome Leesa Cross Smith, author of Every Kiss A War
