Everyone's Happy
Details
Product Description<br/><br/><br/>From the critically acclaimed author of The Knockout Queen and The Girls from Corona del Mar comes a darkly humorous story that charts the unlikely friendship of two women and exposes the absurdity of everything from playground drama to marriage to Goodreads reviews. <br/>Motherhood has turned out to be a lot weirder and lonelier than Mary anticipated - has the world gone crazy, or has she? Most of the time, it feels like both. But when her oldest starts kindergarten, Mary meets another mom, Fiona, and the two form an unusual yet exhilarating friendship. There's only one problem: Mary doesn't really like Fiona's husband, Andreas. What begins as a minor irritation keeps intensifying and changing shape in Mary's mind as Andreas's perceived wrongdoings pile up, until she can't distinguish integrity from self-sabotage. <br/>Everyone's Happy is both an unnervingly honest examination of the shifting loyalties between family and friendship and a love letter to the absurd banalities of suburban life. <br/><br/><br/>About the Author<br/><br/><br/>Lauren Fortgang, a graduate of Fordham University's Theater Program, is an actress, narrator, and costume designer. She has recorded everything from video games to textbooks. Her audiobook narrations have earned two AudioFile Earphones Awards and placed her as a finalist for an Audie Award in 2014.
