# Never Been Better: A Novel

**Author:** Leanne Toshiko Simpson

**Description:** 100% of affiliate revenue supports Boundless Press

_My Best Friend’s Wedding_ meets _The Silver Linings Playbook_ in this offbeat, heartfelt comedy about a seaside wedding reunion where no one can stay afloat.

Dee, Misa, and Matt were the “three musketeers” of the psych ward. Matt is a teddy bear musician with no discernable coping mechanisms. Wildly efficient Misa is quick to take care of others while neglecting herself. And Dee is a puddle with a heart of gold, eager to convince everyone that she’s finally turning things around.

A year after discharge, Matt and Misa are tying the knot in Turks and Caicos, surrounded by guests who have no idea where they met. But the secrecy isn’t sitting well with Dee, who has been hopelessly in love with Matt since before she got kicked out of the hospital.

When Dee arrives at the swanky resort with her high-voltage sister Tilley, it’s now or never to confess how she feels about Matt. But disrupting her best friends’ nuptials would jeopardize the entire support system that holds them all together.

When it comes to happily ever afters, how is a girl supposed to choose between love and recovery?

Introducing a sparkling new voice in commercial fiction, _Never Been Better_ revels in the heartache and hilarity of falling in love when you haven’t quite figured out how to live with yourself.

**Current Reading:**  
Currently reading _Never Been Better_ by Leanne Toshiko Simpson—the author of this book happens to also be bipolar like me and wrote this book with a funny and raw bipolar main character. I’m so far loving the book and hoping to finish it before the book launch on Tuesday that I’ll be attending here in Toronto!

**What I’m loving right now:**  
Tea! With all my chronic health issues I’ve had to cut out coffee completely, so all my teas are coming in clutch to keep me mildly awake and sane. I’m currently obsessed with this Breakfast Blend that I got while I was in the UK last fall and also with rose herbal teas at a few coffee shops near me.

That’s all from me for today! Hope you’re all doing well and excited for a new month of reading! Let me know how you’re all doing, what you’re up to, and what you’re reading <3
