Overview'Wow I loved this book. One of the smartest books I've read this year and also completely addictive. I can't say enough good things about it' Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and the Six What have you got to lose when you fall in love? When Jess first meets Josh at their Ivy League college she dislikes him immediately: an entitled guy in chinos, ready to take over the world. Meanwhile Jess is almost always the only Black woman in their class. And Josh can't accept that life might be easier for him because he's white. After graduating, Jess and Josh end up working together in the same investment bank. As they lunch, spar and pick each other's brains, Jess begins to see Josh in a different light, and it seems their connection might be deeper than Jess could ever have imagined. As their tempestuous friendship turns into an electrifying romance that shocks them both, Jess begins to question who she is and what she's really willing to compromise for love. Everything's Fine is an utterly original and deeply moving take on an age-old question from a dazzling new voice: what have you got to lose when you fall in love? PRAISE FOR EVERYTHING'S FINE 'A stunning debut' Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss 'A mash-up of Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid, Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld and Assembly by Natasha Brown . . . warm, funny and romantic but also sharp and full of nuance. It asks a fundamental question: can you love someone who doesn't see the world in the same way as you do?' Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail 'A subtle, ironic, wise state-of-the-nation novel, sharp enough to draw blood, hidden inside a moving, intimate, sincere and very real love story - or vice versa. Either way, it's a wonderful book by a fantastic, already-formed new talent' Nick Hornby, author of High Fidelity 'A whip smart, sexy, biting love story about how what unites us does not always overcome what divides us. I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent novel' Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Mercies 'Original, confident, hilarious' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland 'A brilliantly observed novel about what it means to lose yourself as a young woman. So funny but also incredibly true' Nina Stibbe, author of Love, Nina 'An extraordinarily brave debut that's painfully real-but plain funny as hell, too' Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl 'An assured debut that provides an honest look into the fraught terrain of a mixed-race, mixed-politics romance... Rabess is at her best when she is shining a light on the subtle mores that exclude Black women from conventions of desirability.' Guardian 'The ending of 'Everything's Fine' is one of the best I've read in years.' Angela Lashbrook, The New York Times 'A love affair that turns inferno.... You'll be riveted.'
