Based on the col­umn of the same name that appeared in The Toast, Hey Ladies! is a laugh-out-loud read that fol­lows a fic­ti­tious group of eight twen­ty-and-thir­ty-some­thing female friends for one year of hol­i­days, sum­mer house rentals, dates, brunch­es, breakups, and, of course, the plan­ning of a dis­as­trous wed­ding. This instant­ly relat­able sto­ry is told entire­ly through emails, texts, DMs, and every oth­er form of com­mu­ni­ca­tion known to man. The women in the book are stand-ins for annoy­ing friends that we all have. There’s Nicole, who’s always broke, and tries to pay for things in For­ev­er 21 gift cards. There’s Katie, the self-impor­tant bud­ding jour­nal­ist, who thinks a retweet and a byline are the same thing. And there’s Jen, the DIY sub­ur­ban bride-to-be. With a per­fect­ly pitched sar­don­ic tone, Hey Ladies! will have you cring­ing and laugh­ing as you rec­og­nize your own friends and even yourself.
