NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM STARRING SANAA LATHAN

What happens when you toss tradition out the window and really start living for yourself?

Venus Johnston has a great job, a beautiful home, and a loving live-in

boyfriend

named Clint, who happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous doctor.

She also has a weekly beauty-parlor

date with Tina, who keeps Venus's long,

processed hair slick and straight.

But when Clint--who's been reluctant to commit over the past four years--brings home a puppy instead of an engagement ring, Venus decides to give

it all up. She

trades in her long hair for a dramatically

short, natural cut and sends Clint packing.

It's a bold declaration of

independence--one that has effects she never could

have

imagined. Reactions from friends and coworkers range from concern to

contempt

to outright condemnation. And when Clint moves on and starts

dating a voluptuous, long-haired

beauty, Venus is forced to question

what she really wants out of life. With wit,

resilience, and a lot of

determination, she finally learns what true happiness is--on her

own terms. Told

with style, savvy,

and humor, Nappily Ever After is a novel that marks the debut of a fresh new voice

in

fiction.
