I Hope This Finds You Well: A Novel

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - Recommended by the New York Times Book Review, Today show, People, Elle, Good Housekeeping, Parade, Harper's Bazaar, and more!

"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.

Ah, Jolene, Jolene. She is a character who has no sense of identity, community, or friendship. She hid her true self from her family and never took the time to get to her colleagues. It was only when she gained access to everyone's emails that she started to make a plan to climb the corporate ladder. Had HR and others not found out she had access, I dont think she would have ever taken the time to learn herself and better herself.The book was relatable if you have ever worked in an office. The descriptive imagery was spot on and made me laugh. As an office worker, this book made me feel heard and understood.

This is one of my favorite books I've read so far this year. I am totally biased because it puts HR in a compassionate light. I felt the author Natalie Sue gave each character depth and meaning, even when it's easy to dislike them from the get-go. The protagonist Jolene is very flawed from the start, but she builds her character up after discovering dirt on all her coworkers. As a big fan of the show The Office (American version), the world of Supershops Inc. in this book is an accurate reflection of modern-day corporate America (or in this book's case, corporate Canada). I loved all the twists and turns that played out in the book, from her fake engagement to her coworker to the eventual friendship Jolene forms with her 12-year-old neighbor. The plot line had every part accounted for, cohesively connected, hilariously played out.

absolutely devoured this. easy & fun read about corpo life struggles with some drama, heart, and humor. would recommend if you like the green dot or dolly alderton based on the writing style. only criticism was the ending being a little cheesy/too perfect.
