""The Best Worst Thing is so sharp, sexy, and real. Every character feels like someone messy and raw and perfectly human. It's a refreshing novel with plenty of twists you don't see coming. Highly recommend this beautiful and redemptive debut!"" -- Jamie Varon, author of Main Character Energy ""The Best Worst Thing is a stop-you-in-your-tracks kind of story--dazing and illuminating, filled with real, messy people figuring out what they want and deserve in the most heart-wrenching of circumstances. I inhaled every gorgeous word of Lauren Okie's prose. Absurdly sexy, psychologically rich, and joyously hopeful, Nicole and Logan's life-affirming love story will take permanent residence in your heart, and you'll be much better for it."" -- Katie Naymon, author of You Between the Lines ""Lauren Okie's The Best Worst Thing squeezed my heart in the best possible way. It's a tender, honest and beautiful book."" -- Amy T.

A true delight of a read."" -- Natalie Sue, author of I Hope This Finds You Well ""With resonant prose and a full-hearted, unforgettable romance, Okie weaves a life's worth of humor and heartbreak, happiness and honesty into these pages. The Best Worst Thing is the best thing that's been on our bookshelves in a while."" -- Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, authors of The Roughest Draft ""The Best Worst Thing absolutely blew me away. It's sexy, complex, and raw, the perfect story of imperfect people in an impossible situation. Don't even get me started on the banter, which lands itself among the GREATS. Lauren Okie's writing is so ridiculously good that I had to put the book down a few times just to catch my breath. Consider me officially obsessed."" -- Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows ""The Best Worst Thing is read-in-one-sitting brilliance! The perfect blend of California summer romance, emotional depth, years of unresolved longing, and the constant sense of teetering on the edge of heartbreak. I loved every second!"" -- Meg Jones, author of Clean Point
