Becca Klein never thought shed have a love affair so soon after her divorce, but when her daughters professor walks into her home, bringing with him an apricot standard poodle named Princess, she does, and the affair is ... a very bad idea.Zigzagging between the rarefied circles of Manhattan investment banking, the achingly self-serious MFA programs of the Midwest, and the private bedrooms of Connecticut, Very Nice is an audacious, addictive, and wickedly smart take on the way we live now.
