Overeating. Oversharing. Overindulging. Over it all. Video chats. Not enough distancing. Alcohol. What could go wrong? And what are people doing when they think nobody is watching? Meet six friends who are COVID quarantining in The Greatest City On Earth. They struggle to have a social life, pay the bills, launch new businesses, hold on to long-distance relationships, not go nuts, wipe, and maybe, just maybe, still have sex. How can people in lockdown have so much drama? There's the nice Jewish fledgling TV news chick with a boss who won't stop dumping her purse into her green reporter's lap. Meet the African-American financial young gun who's trying to not quit before he gets fired. His white-punk roommate is a mathematician turned chef whose out-of-work antics could drive anyone crazy. The hard-edged Chinese-American floral designer who's harboring a secret is getting into fights with the socially-distanced supermarket line standers outside her window. The post-hippie hair stylist who now sports an article in front of her name is getting a special "package" from the parcel delivery guy. And the token ne'er-do-well from the Middle East is setting up an obstacle course in his penthouse apartment. Can he get himself on that ninja warrior TV show? All of these ridiculous people have something in common: a standing weekly cocktail date that they are determined to maintain while being socially distant and, well, careful-ish.

"A thoroughly engaging and heartfelt read...that includes laugh-out-loud scenes." -- Dianne Woodman, Bestsellers World It starts with a hangover. Could it end with an international incident? The Joy (yes, that's what she calls herself) is the crazy glue holding together this group of reprobates. Meet six tight friends who are the picture of social, financial and ethnic diversity. They're also struggling together through the crazy new normal of life during lockdown in New York City. Just as they're hitting their stride, The Joy is called to care for her icy mother in steamy Florida, where HOA rules are strict and the neighbors are loose. Meanwhile, The Joy's roommate Kimi is left alone to balance fear of commitment with an even greater fear of coming out to her Chinese parents. They have no idea their number one daughter is engaged to a Cuban-American princess. The rest of the friends are stumbling their way through a stream of episodes involving poor judgment, a public fall from grace, a boss from hell, an in-home ninja training gym, a startling romance, and (nothing new here) too many cocktails. They're young adults learning about life, the universe, themselves and their responsibilities-but is it an education wasted? And might her mother's vindictive nature impact world affairs? (Golf is involved.) Click the BUY NOW button at the top and make six crazy new friends today. "Lighthearted... "Thought-provoking... "Hilarious... "It was beautiful to read..." -- Jennifer Ibiam, Readers' Favorite A thoroughly engaging and heartfelt read...wonderfully portrayed divergent characters...a satirist approach to a serious subject matter that includes laugh-out-loud scenes. -- Dianne Woodman, Bestsellers World "Shockingly and hilariously 'uncareful-ish'... The real beauty of this juicy read is that...the realities of the pandemic become someone else's problem...'" -- Libby Wiersema, IndieReader

How can friends experience so much insanity during lockdown?It's probably because the madness of lockdown living makes everything a heightened affair. Meet six diverse friends in New York City struggling to find their way through pandemic quarantine. How will they maintain their marbles, paychecks, sex lives, and their weekly video-chat drinking date? The madness accelerates when one of them finds their parents suddenly at the door, luggage in hand. The gang battles foiled wedding plans, rogue business decisions, broken bones, letters to the dead, and (yes) jail time.This friends comedy is funny and fast, with stretches of the screwball weirdness that makes living under the watchful eye of social media so crazy. They all do their off-kilter best to survive the ramifications of their own hilariously bad, often cocktail-infused decisions. It's an endless festival of poor judgment, falls from grace, self-reflection, and parental pressure-and exhibits a surprising amount of heart. And through it all, they have each other. Laughter ensues.

From Afua Hirsch - co-presenter of Samuel L. Jackson's major BBC TV series Enslaved - the Sunday Times bestseller that reveals the uncomfortable truth about race and identity in Britain today. You're British. Your parents are British. Your partner, your children and most of your friends are British. So why do people keep asking where you're from? We are a nation in denial about our imperial past and the racism that plagues our present. Brit(ish) is Afua Hirsch's personal and provocative exploration of how this came to be - and an urgent call for change. 'The book for our divided and dangerous times' David Olusoga
