About the Book

"Some of today's pop novelists can be relied upon to serve up a steady supply of the kind of zip and zing -- the snappy, wicked wit -- that can make it easier to get through the day. To others we turn for the deeper insights and human feeling we need to get through life. Somehow Gailanne Grosso, in THE OTHER SIDE OF NICE, manages to deliver royally on both counts. We start the book thinking we're popping pistachios, and end up realizing we've just polished off a gourmet meal of sublime delicacy." -Bruce Bawer, literary critic, social commentator, author of A Place at the Table, While Europe Slept and Surrender. SHE has become my best friend, my alter ego, the one I want to turn to at 3 AM when I am scared and confused. SHE is who I want to run through fire with and will when this place starts to burn. She is who we have all been waiting for. Gailanne Grosso has given us the next important voice in literature. Ms. Grosso writes the way we think and wish we could write/say/behave and she does it in a style that is new and yet thousands of years old. SHE is wise and wary. SHE is miraculous. Read this now or you will regret not reading it forever." -Jamie Lee Curtis We all grew up knowing we are supposed to do two things in life: Be nice and tell the truth. But we quickly learn it's almost impossible to do both at once. The Other Side of Nice is the tale of a smart, observant, and somewhat intractable girl who won't be cowed or coerced into living according to others' rules. Through her observations, we begin to recognize and share her frustration with how ridiculously complicated we humans make the simplest things. And as we begin to see how her chaos actually makes sense, we start to wonder about our very selves. Spanning the globe, this one girl's life - and that of the woman she becomes - is an exciting exploration of life's curiosities and complications, a bumpy, boundless, and joyful ride from the 1960s to present day. In the end, we come to believe we must strive to be truthful to ourselves - once we figure out who in the world that might actually be. Author Gailanne Grosso is an advertising creative director. She lives with her husband, Gerard, in Manhattan, East Hampton, New York and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Publisher's website: www.strategicbookpublishing.com/TheOtherSideOfNice.html
