Ready to laugh with six new friends who'll make you feel better about your own choices?
Overeating. Oversharing. Not enough distancing. Too much alcohol. What could go wrong? Meet six diverse friends quarantining in The Greatest City On Earth. They struggle to maintain their social lives, pay the bills, find new purpose, and just maybe have sex. What will they do when they think nobody's watching? A lot.
The Joy (yes, that's what she calls herself) is the crazy glue that's holding this group of reprobates together. When lockdown hits, she insists on maintaining their weekly happy hour. She also insists that getting serviced by her beefy servicemen is safe-ish. Her sarcastic, Asian-American roommate, Kimi begs to differ. Only, not too loudly. Kimi's just crashing there and has no place else to go.
But things are challenging for everyone. Will Steph, the nice Jewish girl and fledgling TV news chick be able to balance career and romance? And is it really romance, or just star-crossed sex? She's been quietly and uncareful-ishly getting busy with Jackson, the group's token Arab ne'er-do-well. He's using lockdown to train for that ninja warrior TV show. He's setting up a crazy-big obstacle course inside his parent's penthouse apartment. The good news? They're not home. Yet.
Will Shad, the African-American young gun of finance, who works under the boss from Hell, quit before he gets fired? Depends. Benji, his white, suburban, anime-loving roommate (who's not quite on the spectrum) might drive him crazy before he can do either.
And somehow the outside world finds its way in. Will Shad actually run the entire marathon for charity that he has created right in his apartment? And what will Steph do when, while in the middle of interviewing a war hero's widow, she's forced to play midwife--on TV. Her friends and the world watch live as the drama unfolds.
If you enjoy friends comedies with a hint of romance, a serving of cocktails and a healthy dose of heart, this story is for you. Honey Parker brings her years of stand-up comedy and screenwriting experience together for the best-selling first book of the
Careful-ish series.
