Read by Nasim Pedrad
From the bestselling author of I Hope This Finds You Well comes a sharply funny, surprisingly tender novel about a woman stuck in place, her nosy neighbors, and the journey to find where she belongs—with all the heart of a grown-up The Breakfast Club.
Mona thought her living situation was bad… but the real mess is just beginning.
One day is all it takes for Mona’s life to implode. After years of climbing at her marketing firm, she was supposed to be getting promoted and finally moving out of her crumbling apartment building. Instead, she’s jobless, aimless, and still stuck in a space barely big enough for a yoga mat.
Then her eccentric landlady takes a tumble and asks Mona to step in as the building’s reluctant super. The deal is simple: help prep the place for sale, and she can secure the upgrade she’s been chasing. But that’s easier said than done when the neighbors treat “boundaries” as optional. There’s the shouting couple, the mysterious shut-in, a possible panty thief in the laundry room—and Sami, the relentlessly cheerful diner owner who keeps showing up with coffee and unsolicited ideas about community. As Mona gets pulled deeper into the building’s chaos—and closer to the people inside it—she’s forced to confront what, and who, she’s really been trying to outrun. Sometimes, the place you’re desperate to leave is the one that finally shows you who you are.
Wise, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud funny, Natalie Sue’s sophomore novel is a story about burning out, starting over, and finding your people in the most unexpected places—perfect for fans of The Wedding People and Anxious People.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Equal parts workplace satire and neighbourhood comedy, this is a warm, whip-smart novel about what happens when a woman’s carefully ordered life—and hilariously judgy worldview—slowly begins to change. After a professional setback leaves marketing manager Mona unexpectedly adrift, she reluctantly becomes responsible for the run-down apartment building she’s always treated as a temporary stop on her way to something better. Natalie Sue (I Hope This Finds You Well) uses Mona’s relentlessly tart inner monologue to turn even everyday annoyances into comic gold. As Mona gradually begins to see her fellow tenants as more than the dismissive labels she’s assigned them, You’ll Love It Here grows into a surprisingly affecting story about the rewards of letting other people into your life. Especially if you’re a Fredrik Backman or Dolly Alderton fan, this breezy but perceptive novel will be right up your alley.
