Hey Ladies! cover

Based on the column of the same name that appeared in The Toast, Hey Ladies! is a laugh-out-loud read that follows a fictitious group of eight 20-and-30-something female friends for one year of holidays, summer house rentals, dates, brunches, breakups, and, of course, the planning of a disastrous wedding. This instantly relatable story is told entirely through emails, texts, DMs, and every other form of communication known to man.   The women in the book are stand-ins for annoying friends that we all have. There’s Nicole, who’s always broke and tries to pay for things in Forever21 gift cards. There’s Katie, the self-important budding journalist, who thinks a retweet and a byline are the same thing. And there’s Jen, the DIY suburban bride-to-be. With a perfectly pitched sardonic tone, Hey Ladies! will have you cringing and laughing as you recognize your own friends, and even yourself.

“…a 200-plus-page infographic that…satirizes the many way making plans for big celebrations – the kind in which heightened emotions, complex logistics and considerable expenses collide – easily gets out of hand.” The New York Times

“Moss and Markowitz do a phenomenal job of drawing out distinct characters, building tension that keeps the pages turning, and making clear that we're laughing with these ladies as much as we're laughing at them. Because, of course, there's a little bit of Hey Ladies! in us all.” Buzzfeed

“you’ll definitely relate…our inboxes have never felt so seen.” Hello Giggles

“hugely relatable…funnier than your favorite group text” am New York

“This is a hilarious (but also big-hearted) roast of millennial women — our ambitions, our friendships, our dreams of having it all. But Hey Ladies leaves room for the idea that maybe we can.” Refinery29
