Everything's Fine by Cecelia Rabess

Here is the question at hand--can a black liberal woman and a white conservative man make it work? I am thinking no, and that's it, washing my hands of it, but this first time author works to see it through, what are the odds? Jess is low woman on the totem pole at Goldman Sachs. She is patronized and undervalued by the men around her, including Josh, who fails to see how race and gender put her at a disadvantage, and how little credit she gets for her ideas. They bicker; they get in each other’s hair. Eventually, they become friends. There’s definite romantic chemistry but when they hook up, it’s a surprise to both, although Josh will later admit to Jess that he had always been a bit smitten. This is a good book, one that is able to laugh at itself, and you will remember it when you hear Everything's fine again. Because in fact it is not.
