Hey Ladies!: The Story of 8 Best Friends, 1 Year, and Way, Way Too Many Emails - Paperback

by Michelle Markowitz (Author), Caroline Moss (Author), Carolyn Bahar (Illustrator)

With sharp wit and affectionate satire, Hey Ladies! is both a send-up of millennial culture and a celebration of the friendships that survive it. Perfect for readers who love smart humor, digital-age storytelling, and books that feel like reading someone else's inbox--only funnier.

Told entirely through emails, texts, DMs, and digital side-channels, Hey Ladies! follows a fictitious group of eight twenty- and thirty-something women over the course of one chaotic year.

From holiday planning and summer rentals to brunches, breakups, and the slow-motion unraveling of a wedding, their nonstop correspondence captures the comedy and anxiety of modern female friendship in all its over-communicated glory.

Based on the beloved column from The Toast, this illustrated book skewers the rituals of planning, the politics of group chats, and the emotional labor of staying connected in an always-online world.

Each friend is instantly recognizable--the broke one, the ambitious one, the bride-to-be--and each thread spirals into a familiar mix of passive aggression, oversharing, and genuine care.
