On February 14, 2024, Happily Ever After was listed as #1 in Hot New Releases on Amazon's Bestsellers in Sociology list. It remained in the top ten for more than a week.

Excerpt:

"Four, zero, zero, two, eight, two," Lissa whispered as she keyed in her office door code. "Another day in the grind."
Her work bag dropped from her shoulder to the crook of her arm. She let her scarf loose and headed for the bathroom, simultaneously forcing the first door open with her hand and her foot. She popped her back on the first door to prop it open, and then pushed-kicked the second door.
"Goddamn entrance," she seethed.
She felt hot and sweaty. She wrestled herself from her thick fuzzy coat and flung it over the first stall door. She paused to ensure it wouldn't fall to the bathroom floor; she stroked it—luxuriating in its lush texture—in Tyrian purple that matched her hair.
Lissa had written a fiery note to Human Resources about this absurd antechamber. No bathroom required a double passage, and this one, she proved, was an act of body shaming—fatphobia. She demanded that the government renovate all of the bathrooms. She ordered the removal of the closet-sized compartment entrance, and passionately imparted the need to make the restrooms fit for normal-sized women—starting with her floor of the office tower.
The skinny little bitches in HR had responded with some brain-dead letter about how the "architecture was intended to disrupt the 'line of sight'"; then, reiterating some bullshit about "risk of exposure"—and then an empty paragraph about "privacy, sounds, and odours."
It was all bullshit—they were all adults; adults have natural bodily functions.
