Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess
Thanks to Simon Books for this ARC! I received it as a #FreeGift in exchange for an honest review as part of the #SimonBooksBuddy program.
I thought the book was very readable, a real page-turner. I flew through it and found myself thinking about it whenever I wasn't reading. Living in a deeply red state, I've heard stories of folks who are in relationships with people who have starkly different (and oftentimes harmful) political beliefs — though, critically, both people in these relationships are white, so there are obvious differences between them and Jess and Josh. For reviews that are able to better critique this book through the lens of a Black woman's experience, please seek out Black reviewers on Instagram or TikTok. I specifically recommend @ satrayreads on TT — her "everything's fine saga" playlist has some great insights!
