"Fans of The Office will delight."—SHELBY VAN PELT • "Wickedly funny."—PEOPLE • "I could not put it down."—JULIA QUINN • "A workplace sitcom transformed into a romantic comedy novel."—ELLE

In this wildly funny and heartwarming office comedy, an admin worker accidentally gains access to her colleagues’ private emails and DMs and decides to use this intel to save her job—a laugh-till-you-cry debut novel you’ll be eager to share with your entire list of contacts, perfect for fans of Anxious People and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.

As far as Jolene is concerned, her interactions with her colleagues should start and end with her official duties as an admin for Supershops, Inc. Unfortunately, her irritating, incompetent coworkers don’t seem to understand the importance of boundaries. Her secret to survival? She vents her grievances in petty email postscripts, then changes the text color to white so no one can see. That is until one of her secret messages is exposed. Her punishment: sensitivity training (led by the suspiciously friendly HR guy, Cliff) and rigorous email restrictions.

When an IT mix-up grants her access to her entire department’s private emails and DMs, Jolene knows she should report it, but who could resist reading what their coworkers are really saying? And when she discovers layoffs are coming, she realizes this might just be the key to saving her job. The plan is simple: gain her boss’s favor, convince HR she’s Supershops material, and beat out the competition.

But as Jolene is drawn further into her coworkers' private worlds and realizes they are each keeping secrets, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble—especially around Cliff, who she definitely cannot have feelings for. Eventually she will need to decide if she’s ready to leave the comfort of her cubicle, even if that means coming clean to her colleagues.

Crackling with laugh-out-loud dialogue and relatable observations, I Hope This Finds You Well is a fresh and surprisingly tender comedy about loneliness and love beyond our computer screens. This sparkling debut novel will open your heart to the everyday eccentricities of work culture and the undeniable human connection that comes along with it.

"Wickedly funny . . . This sparkling debut will have you snickering in the break room."—PEOPLE

Natalie Sue’s debut is an absolute stunner!”—ASHLEY POSTON, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics

Life in general.

What you think other people think about is most likely wrong. Relationship dynamics can be difficult to predict. I enjoyed listening to this story.

Brilliant!!

best read of the year...honest, funny, gut-wrenching. I'll remember these characters for a very long time.

Surprising and thought provoking

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The connection I felt with the characters and storyline surprised me in the best way.

A cute story

Initially, I did not like the character and almost stopped listening. I’m so glad I stuck with it. The story was awesome and I couldn’t wait to keep going. The narrator was also excellent. Highly recommended!

Wow

What a book!! It’s real and raw, it’s everything I wanted it to be and more. This book is more than just about working in the corporate setting, but about life the messiness, the good & the bad. I really enjoyed all the characters and the writing.

Jolene’s inner thoughts were woefully familiar and I loved how she progressed in what felt like an honest way.

Loved this book. Couldn’t stop listening. I was nervous about half way through as I anticipated all the ways it could end and I only wanted it to end with hope. For many people involved.

Deeper than expected and lovely story

The main character made some hilarious moves in the office that we can all relate to, but is also very frustrating at times when the insecurity holds her back from obvious actions. Still, a good journey to enjoy and laugh while hoping she finds her way.

Characters

Loved the raw emotions the subject matter that is hard to bring up in conversation. The character development and friendships that developed.

Great Performance

It was funny, but at times cringy. A good reminder we should all practice empathy and kindness without judgement. One never knows what a person is/has gone through.

Great Narration

The story is good, but main character is a bit annoying. But once you push through, and understand her trauma, you can tolerate her better.
