Description: Does love conquer all? Does it now? Did it ever? These are questions Cecilia Rabess asks in her nimble discerning debut The ending of Everything's Fine is one of the best I ve read in years. The New York Times A painfully funny painfully real love story for our time that doesn t just ask will they but should they? Jess is a senior in college ambitious but aimless when she meets Josh. He's a privileged preppy in chinos ready to inherit the world. She's not expecting to inherit anything. A year later they re both working at the same investment bank. And when Jess finds herself the sole Black woman on the floor overlooked and underestimated Josh shows up for her in surprising if imperfect ways. Before long an unlikely friendship forms tinged with undeniable chemistry. It gradually and then suddenly turns into an electrifying romance that shocks them both. Despite their differences the force of their attraction propels the relationship forward. But as the cultural and political landscape shifts underneath them Jess is forced to consider if their disagreements run deeper than she can bear what she's willing to compromise for love and whether in fact everything's fine. A stunning debut about a love affair that turns inferno (People) that is extraordinarily brave funny as hell (Zakiya Dalilah Harris) Cecilia Rabess's Everything's Fine is an incisive and moving portrait of a young woman who is just beginning to discover who she is and who she has the right to be. It is also a subtle ironic wise state - of - the - nation novel (Nick Hornby) that asks big questions about the way we live now and whether our choices stop and end with us (The New York Times).
