Everything's Fine

They say love is all you need...

"Extraordinarily brave...plain funny as hell, too." --Zakiya Dalila Harris, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Black Girl

When Jess lands a job as an analyst at Goldman Sachs, she's less than thrilled to learn she'll be on the same team as Josh, her preppy, white, conservative sparring partner from college. Josh loves playing the devil's advocate and is just...the worst.

But when Jess finds herself the sole Black woman on the floor, overlooked and underestimated, it's Josh who shows up for her in surprising--if imperfect--ways. Before long, an unlikely friendship--one tinged with undeniable chemistry--forms between the two. A friendship that gradually, and then suddenly, turns into an electrifying romance that shocks them both.

Despite their differences, the force of their attraction propels the relationship forwards, and Jess begins to question whether it's more important to be happy than right. But then it's 2016, and the cultural and political landscape shifts underneath them. And Jess, who is just beginning to discover who she is and who she has the right to be, is forced to ask herself what she's willing to compromise for love and whether, in fact, everything's fine.

A stunning debut that introduces Cecilia Rabess as a blazing new talent, Everything's Fine is a painfully funny, poignant, heartfelt novel that doesn't just ask will they, but...should they?
