Very Nice by Marcy Dermansky
Publisher: Knopf

Length: 304 pages
Amazon
Dear Reese Witherspoon, HBO, Showtime, Prime Video, Netflix, et al.,
Have any of you optioned Very Nice by Marcy Dermansky yet? If not, someone needs to get on it. Dermansky’s latest book would make a fabulous mini-series, the perfect antidote for those suffering from the cancellation rumors around Big Little Lies. (HBO, what are thinking?!?)
Just like Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, readers will have a whole range of reactions to Very Nice, but don’t let that concern you. In fact, here’s where you really need to pay attention: they’ll ALL love watching it, because let’s face it, this story has it all.
- The rich behaving badly – Everyone loves that!
- A beach town location, a house with a pool – Plenty of attractive people in swimsuits.
- A husband who leaves his wife for a younger woman – Cliché, but always interesting.
- A love triangle involving a mother and daughter – Gold!
- A blocked Pakistani writer with nowhere to go – Everything seems to revolve around him, but why?
- A secret affair – Some will love it, others will hate it. People will be talking!
- A thwarted school shooting – Current and a great jumping off point for drama.
- A tangle of relationships unfolding over time – A new shock for every episode.
- Angst, regret, fear, longing, passion, shame – What more could you want?
- A pretty, coddled poodle – Who doesn’t love a dog?
Let’s get this done! Someone needs to make Very Nice, the mini-series. In the mean time, readers might want to add Very Nice, the book, to their end of summer reading lists. They’ll find it’s a fun, fast beach read and I bet they’ll be loving it as a mini-series, too! Grade: A-
Sincerely,
Susie Boutry

P.S. A small finders fee would be appreciated and I’ve got plenty of casting ideas if you need any help.

Well I’m convinced, love this review Susie!
Thanks, Renee. It was fun to do.
Lol this is hilarious. And you’ve sold me!!
Thanks, Tina. I hope you enjoy it.
Great, funny review! Someone should send this to Bradley Cooper he’s looking for new projects now that ” A Star Is Born” is done. LOL Who knows? Maybe he can direct and star in this one too he’s a good actor and Mr. Cooper isn’t hard on the eyes at all.
Unfortunately he’d have to have a very small part. The male leads are an older man and a younger Pakistani guy. Those might be a reach for Cooper, but he can certainly direct it.
What a fun review, Susie!
Thanks, Angela. I had fun writing it.
Ooh, this sounds like great summer reading! Love it!
It was perfect light summer reading. The very definition of a beach read.
I’m adding this to my list, Susie; thank you for the excellent recommendation! 🙂
Hope you enjoy it, Tara.
