“Enjoying snarky comments and sarcastic musings isn’t necessarily something of which to be ashamed. The main character Jolene, in Natalie Sue’s first novel, made the major mistake of putting it in a work email. Her cut throat co-workers are certainly deserving of excoriation, yet Jolene’s error is against Human Resources Guidelines. The novel starts out outlandishly funny as a human resources intervention meant to restrict her computer, mistakenly allows the opposite, giving Jolene access to everyone’s email correspondences. ”

“An office-place comedy full of heart. This reminded me of ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE, which I also loved. A woman, who is being punished for sending an inappropriate email, accidentally gets access to ALL of her colleagues emails and messages, and uses them to try to save her job. Bad behavior, surprising connections, and compromising situations!”

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.
