YOU SHOULD SMILE MORE

Hillary Huber creates a delightfully snarky heroine in Nessa, a telemarketer who is fired with no warning because her boss, Xavier, doesn't like her face. Nessa can't understand how her "resting bitch face" could matter since her work is 100% on the phone. Xavier, always shoeless, has fired many more workers with equally lame reasons, yet Nessa discovers the fired workers' photos still appear on the company website. Nessa and her co-workers suspect Xavier's motives are unsavory and conspire to uncover his secrets. Huber handles this laugh-out-loud revenge fantasy/romance with the lightest touch. She makes Xavier's foot infection and the bugging and glitter-bombing of his office amusing, and she gives Nessa's foster kittens their own personalities. This audiobook will make listeners smile.
