When Vanessa Blair is fired because of her ""resting bitch face,"" her friends help her launch a revenge plan that'll bring down the whole company.

Telemarketer Vanessa Blair isn't in love with her job. It pays the bills and feeds her foster kittens, but offers only one other perk- her friendships with Jane Delaney and Trisha Lam.

Reviews for You Should Smile More: A Novel

A fun and original workplace revenge fantasy, filled with kittens, glitter bombs, and friendship. A quirky coming-of-age tale and sweet romance...Great for readers who want a happily-ever-after with a cozy twist. ""Reminiscent of The Office and 9 to 5, Ryan's debut is a slapstick blend of comedy and heart, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and strong female heroines."" -- Kirkus ""Ryan paints an ode to RBF owners and anyone slighted by a male boss -- you'll be rooting for her the whole way."" -- Buzzfeed
