'A stunning debut' - Meg Mason, author of Sorrow and Bliss

'An extraordinarily brave debut that's painfully real—but plain funny as hell, too' - Zakiya Dalila Harris, author of The Other Black Girl

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?

Industry Reviews

'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
