You Should Smile More by Anastasia Ryan
4.0

*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity.*

This hilarious, quirky, and downright fun read is an absolute treat for anyone looking to laugh. YOU SHOULD SMILE MORE isn't always realistic (in the beginning I was screaming for Vanessa to just sue for wrongful termination), but this book follows the laws of any good rom-com and it's better to just accept the twists and logic for what it is.

Vanessa Blair-- and her motley crew consisting of her mother's bridge club, former coworkers, five calico kittens, and a very attractive Unemployment Office employee-- begin investigating DirectUs after she loses her telemarketing job due to her face. Or, rather, the expressions her face makes. What ensues is a crazy story involving foot-bladder infections, murder walls, 1980s themed work proms, and lots of shenanigans.
