Cecilia Rabess is the author of Everything's Fine. The two main characters, Jess and Josh, meet in a class in the Ivy League college. Later both of them work for Goldman Sachs. Turns out the author once worked at Goldman Sachs so I would guess that part of the corporate world was probably quite accurate. Josh grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut. Jess grew up in Nebraska and was the only person of color in her high school. Now she is living in New York with a degree in mathematics and trying to make it as a financial trader. In their relationship Josh scoffs at Jess' political views. He is a Republican who doesn't think Donald Trump is a racist. Josh speaks about racism and meritocracy in abstract words while also love bombing Jess. Jess tries to cope with this by compartmentalizing and telling herself, "Everything's fine."
