Rabess, Cecilia: Everything's Fine

What''s at stake when you fall in love? When Jess first meets Josh at their Ivy League college she dislikes him immediately. Josh stands for everything that Jess opposes: a handsome white guy in chinos, ready to take over the world. Meanwhile Jess is almost always the only black woman in their class. She''s sick of the casual racism, the class debates about affirmative action, and she''s especially sick of insensitive, know-it-all, Josh, who isn''t shy about broadcasting his infuriating opinions. But when, after graduating, Jess and Josh end up working together in the same bank, talking about the things they both love, equally despising their awful boss, it seems their connection might be deeper than Jess ever could have imagined. As their tempestuous friendship turns into an electrifying romance that shocks them both, Jess begins to question who she is and what she''s really willing to compromise for love.
