A tragedy sends a shockwave through Penny Ruis-Kar's life, and what were narrow fissures in her relationships become gaping chasms. Given that her mantra is that everything is unequivocally fine, how will she find a way to make her world whole again?

She decides upon radical honesty as a courageous prescription for an ailing marriage and a fraught worklife. And in telling this story, Camille Pagan's own radical honest is the key to its success. The portrayal of Penny and Sanjay's marriage is as unflinching as any I have read, and that's exactly why it works. No fairytales here, just real struggles, awkward memonts, touching insights, and plenty of humor to ease the pain.

Pagan has boundless compassion for her stumbling, striving characters, and you will, too. Wise, entertaining, and big-hearted, I'm Fine and Neither Are You is as nuanced as a marriage, and equally as worthwhile.

Penelope is a working mom of 2 children, the breadwinner for the family, while her husband Sanjay coasts from one career to another never amounting to much money or help for the family. Penelope is over worked, constantly worried about everything, and envious of her best friend Jenny's life. It seems like Jenny has everything. The perfect husband, she is a stay at home mom whose house is always spotless, and the mom to one sweet little girl. After Jenny's shocking death, Penelope and Sanjay want to work on their marriage by being honest with each other and not hiding their feelings. They each write lists they want the other to work on. But can a marriage survive complete honesty? This was such an emotional story form having me crying my eyes out to laughing out loud. I loved the characters. Penelope is real, flawed, stressed and could be your best friend. It is a story of marriages and friendships. I received an advanced readers copy from NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing. All opinions are my own.

I loved this book so much! I felt like I was finally reading about a marriage I could relate to. A couple, after facing the loss of a friend, decides to shake up their marriage by being completely honest with one another. Never a good policy in real life nor in fiction.

I adored this book. Very relatable. I cared about the characters. Anyone who is reconsidering life choices will enjoy. I couldnt put it down but didnt want it to end
