Richly cinematic, Kate Nason’s memoir uncovers the little-known side of a well-known story, unveiling a beautiful and cautionary tale about the ways we deceive ourselves when we allow ourselves to be deceived by those we love. It is an intimate look at the impacts of infidelity, the fallout of gaslighting, and a deep reveal of the silent wife at the press conference. Nason explores the roles women inhabit throughout their lives, how they carry trauma, and the lengths they will go to protect their children and save themselves.

In the tradition of Lisa Brennan Jobs’s Small Fry or Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, Everything is Perfect is a literary and psychological portrait of a marriage that goes deeper than the familiar news story within. It is a fierce and often funny self-reckoning, a meditation on learning to trust intuition and a celebration of ultimately undoing a bad I do.

Everything is Perfect will be released as an Audible Original in 2021.
