Make It Nice

Fred Rogers and the Real Housewives walk into a bar.

This is that book.

Make It Nice is a sharp, funny, deeply researched argument that the Real Housewives franchise — twenty years, a dozen cities, hundreds of women — is one of the most complete cultural records of female experience on television. Using the unlikely lens of Fred Rogers, it examines what the franchise has been teaching us all along: about friendship, ambition, anger, love, grief, reinvention, and the radical act of wanting things out loud.

Rogers said you are special, exactly as you are. The Housewives said: and don't you forget it.

Make It Nice is for every woman who already knew both were right.
