You Need to Watch Ted Lasso

We Need to Talk About Ted Lasso

This is the number one thing I’ve been telling people to watch lately. (And I’m NOT alone)

It’s a story about an American football coach who moves to London to coach an English Premier League football (soccer) team.

It’s a comedy, but it’s got the heart of Schitts Creek, the community of Parks & Rec and the quick wit of The Good Place.

It’s got incredibly supportive female friendships.

It’s about sports, but without the toxic masculinity.

It’s about the culture clash between the UK and the US but without any false superiority.

It’s about relationships, platonic, romantic, community.

It’s about joy.

It’s about finding a new way to look at life.

It’s my favorite thing right now.

Watch it.

It’s on Apple TV. and you (all of us) deserve something this good in 2020.

Here’s a podcast about it because Brene Brown agrees with me (OF COURSE SHE DOES).

 

And when you’re done watching it, come find me on Instagram and let’s talk about how much you love it.

 

Howdy United Kingdom!!

I'm so thrilled to welcome new readers from the United Kingdom!  My book, SISTERHOOD IS DEADLY, is releasing as MEAN SISTERS in the U.K. on 17 March 2016. In fact, it's an entirely new version for a new country!Mean Sisters HIRES FINAL

 

I would like to welcome all British readers to my crazy world.  Yes, I'm American. Please don't let that stop you from buying my book.  I know, Americans have a bit of a reputation abroad, like we just go in and force everyone to do things our way.

But I want to start off with my new British readers on the right foot, so that's why I have attempted to educate myself about the United Kingdom. I've studied your history...

I must admit, some things have been harder to understand than others.

After all this study, I'm fairly confident that MEAN SISTERS will find fans in your country.

Now, I know there's a possibility that not everyone will love my book.

Some may have set their expectations too high.

Generally, I think...

Oh yes.  MEAN SISTERS. It's a mystery.

I can't wait to hear what you think of Margot Blythe and the sisters of Delta Beta. I just know this is the beginning of a long, meaningful relationship.
