Description

From hilariously awkward lunch breaks to cringe-worthy Zoom calls, this workplace comedy of errors is sure to put a smile on your face.

Indiana "Ana" Aaron is a talented coder and IT specialist, but she doesn't always fit in at work. When she speaks up one too many times for her boss's ego, she's transferred to a remote team--and it's clear this is her last chance to blend in.

Ana sees working from home as a chance at redemption; she can keep her head down and her camera off. But when her new boss praises her assertiveness and thanks Mr. Aaron, she sees no reason to correct him.

The longer Ana waits to set things straight, the more complicated things get. Soon the legend of "Indiana" begins to take on a life of its own, and Ana is in over her head. Fortunately, she has friends at work, including Shane, a handsome tech guy who's smart enough to put the puzzle together and to help her triumph over workplace preconceptions and other nonsense.

Praise for You Should Smile More:

"If you're looking for something to make you laugh, smile, and get irrationally angry, You Should Smile More fits the bill... This book is a lot of fun."--Culturess

"Ryan paints an ode to RBF owners and anyone slighted by a male boss--you'll be rooting for her the whole way."--Buzzfeed

"Ryan's debut is a slapstick blend of comedy and heart, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and strong female heroines."--Kirkus

Critical Reviews

"Zippy banter, workplace shenanigans, and a heroine to root for make this book virtually unputdownable." -- Lucy Gilmore, author of The Lonely Hearts Book Club
