Being nice doesn't get you ahead. At least that's what Hazel's mother always told her. And it's true, Hazel didn't get her pricey condo, or snag her high-profile job handling difficult clients, by being nice. Her ambitious fiancé didn't fall for her because she was sweet. So far, Hazel's edgy personality has gotten her everything she's wanted. Until a conflict with an unhoused person makes Hazel realize she's on a one-way track to becoming the person she never wanted to be (her mother). Hazel leaves her life, her friends, and her job and lets nostalgia pull her home, halfway across the country. Once there, her charming nieces and nephew, long-lost horse, and a guy who's just as hot as he is kind, make Hazel think maybe it's nice to be nice after all. But can a road trip really lead to redemption? Does Hazel know how to be a success without the snark? Let the summery vibes of this laugh-out-loud small-town romance remind you that nice people can finish first.
