Everything Nice

In this smart, sexy, wickedly funny new novel, the acclaimed author of Right Before Your Eyes introduces an unforgettable and irresistibly real heroine: a woman who is forced to reinvent herself-- and discovers that the biggest risk is not taking one at all.

Michaela "Mike" Edwards doesn't do sugar and spice. But when mishandled office politics get her unexpectedly fired, the young advertising hotshot finds herself doing the unimaginable: moving back in with her widowed father, unraveling her complex feelings for an Aussie journalist named Gunther, and rethinking her entire life. She could never have guessed that fate would land her in a classroom teaching "life skills" to sixth-grade girls who desperately need her. But with a best friend rapidly becoming something more, and a family she's just discovering, Mike is about to learn that going places in life doesn't have to mean going it alone.
