Monica Heisey’s REALLY GOOD, ACTUALLY published this week to an outstanding abundance of praise and attention. The book was featured on must-read and most-anticipated lists from Entertainment Weekly, the New York Post, GQ, Good Morning America, Elle, E! News Online, Shondaland, PopSugar, The Washington Post, The Week, Goodreads, PureWow, Sunset, and many more. A rave review from Sarah Stiefvater of PureWow praises: “[A]mid the dark and dry humor, REALLY GOOD, ACTUALLY is often deeply relatable and sneakily poignant. Heisey dives into the complexities of healing after the end of a relationship you thought would last forever, the messy chaos of your late 20s and what happens when it feels like all of your friends are moving forward and you’re stuck in the same place…[T]his debut novel is better than really good…actually.” The Los Angeles Times ran a feature on Heisey; Bethanne Patrick writes: “Having herself navigated some unsteady personal terrain, Heisey is making a career out of guiding characters through the kinds of crises we can laugh at and sympathize with all at once, while upending enough rom-com tropes to keep things interesting. All of which is to say that you’re going to get to know Monica Heisey a lot better, in one medium or another, and you’re likely to come out of the experience knowing yourself a little better too.” Lastly, Heisey appeared on Good Morning America to discuss the real-life inspirations for her novel. William Morrow published the book on January 17, 2023.
