About the book:

In this stylish and provocative debut novel, a young painter attempts to make a life in New York City as an artist, a good immigrant daughter, and soon (maybe) a wife—until her smooth-talking art-critic ex resurfaces, and an inevitable mess ensues. Mira Jacob (The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing) calls Good News a "punchy critique of high art, and a revealing look at what it takes to find yourself as a young artist. Women are the driving force of this richly realized story.”
