THE LIGHT OF A NICE GIRL
Self-proclaimed geek Maryanne Gains may look like she's winning at life. She works at her family's retro media store and shares an apartment with the now-grown "popular girls" from high school. But lately, all she can focus on is the damage she's taken.
Emotionally abandoned by her father一who's also her highest boss一and long estranged from her mother, Maryanne feels unwanted. When her job can no longer cheer her up, thanks to her new, overly critical manager, it's time to change her outlook on life.
Her new idea is: "What would Robyn think?"
Robyn Sims, one of her roommates, is full of positivity and the epitome of what Maryanne aspires to level up to. By making choices based on Robyn's hypothetical approval, Maryanne finds herself gaining the confidence she's always wanted. But what happens when even the power of optimism isn't enough to combat her despair?
