"What a fun read! It’s been a while since I devoured an entire book in one day, but Anastasia Ryan’s debut “You Should Smile More�� was unputdownable.

A chaotic tale of crazy bosses (and mothers), unemployment, cats, coffee, friendship, and war, this book had me laughing out loud over and over."

"Utterly amazing

This book had me in tears laughing. It is a source of giggles warm fuzzy feelings and lots of cuddles. Girl power/friendships of a lifetime and even more incredible moms.
I loved this story down to my toes. I could relate with all of the characters and the plot was just my cup of coffee (not a tea drinker). I officially want to learn not to sneeze and cry around cats!
If anyone needs a good pick me up and some heart filled enjoyment check out this book. It is well worth the read. The author truly has done an amazing job in writing this book. I am soooo excited to read more. "

"4 stars

This was absolutely wonderful.
You should smile more is one of my favorite books, and when I saw this one, I knew I had to read it too.
Our heroine is amazing. It's just amazing. Her resilience and the way she faces life are inspiring.
This book was funny and emotional (I love our heroine's relationship with her dad), and although it's technically not romance, I adored the romantic elements here. I was swooning so hard!!!!
Friendships are one of my favorite things from Anastasia's books, and the one here was amazing 👏
Overall, this was so much fun, and I can't wait for everyone to read this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review."

"Professionally, Indiana “Ana�� Aaron is a woman in a man’s world. She’s excellent at IT and coding, but not always great at relating to her male coworkers and bosses. She’s not afraid to speak her mind though, and after she offends her boss, winds up assigned to a remote team no one wants to be on.

Working from home, her camera off during zoom calls, and a first name that evokes Indiana Jones all lead to her new boss mistakenly assuming she’s a man. Instead of correcting him, Ana decides to roll with it. With the help of her friends, she invents a larger-than-life persona for Indiana: pilot, emergency back-up goalie for the Avalanche, and other crazy hijinks. I was simultaneously laughing out loud while being anxious that she was going to get found out and also rooting for her to take down her jerk of a boss.

As a woman who works in a male-dominated field myself, I totally identified with Ana and found myself infuriated by the sexist nonsense she had to endure. Luckily, there was plenty of raucous laughter to cancel out my flares of irritation at the patriarchy. This book is a hoot! It has a romcom vibe but the romance is just a side plot and the workplace shenanigans take center stage, which is awesome! Ana’s friends are fantastic, and her relationship with her dad is adorable.

This is Anastasia Ryan’s second workplace comedy and after loving this one and her debut, “You Should Smile More��, I can safely say I would read absolutely anything she writes in the future! Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for providing me an advance copy of this book.
