  • "Super Bloom is a true delight—hilarious, poignant, and as much of an escape as a spa day in the mountains of Vermont. Who could resist a novel about writers, romance, and the nuances of friendship? Not me! Take Super Bloom along on your next getaway."
    Amanda Eyre Ward
    New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters
  • "A winning (and wickedly funny) debut about a massage therapist's second chance at life. Like a skilled therapist herself, Tady works all the right pressure points to leave the reader rejuvenated. I already can't wait to read what she writes next."
    Steven Rowley
    bestselling author of The Guncle
  • "Super Bloom is such a fun read! Tady had me laughing out loud as I followed her quirky, broken-hearted heroine Joan as she bumbled her way through grief, loss, and the more typical hardships of a thirty-something woman living in a small town. This life-affirming story (and a romance within a romance within a romance) is a tale of unexpected friendship, moving through grief, and never giving up on your dreams."
    Eileen Garvin
    author of The Music of Bees
  • "Absolutely delightful."
    Jenny Lawson
    New York Times bestselling author of Furiously Happy
  • "Fresh, funny, and told by a narrator whose voice I would follow anywhere, Super Bloom is a true delight. I absolutely adored this book."
    Annabel Monaghan
    author of Nora Goes Off Script
  • "Super Bloom is that rare sort of novel that's both a blast to read and leaves you thinking about the characters long after you've finished the last page. Set in a spa in Vermont (who doesn't want to go there for a while?), Tady delivers a terrific satirical world in which our heroine—a down and out massage therapist mourning a lost love—has to fight her way back to happiness. Throw in some entitled clients and a narcissistic romance novelist with truly evil intentions, and you've got a sure hit from a wonderfully gifted new debut novelist. Can't wait to see what she writes next!"
    Katie Crouch
    New York Times bestselling author of Embassy Wife
  • "Super Bloom is super fun! Like a great massage therapist, Tady's funny, feel-good debut will de-stress and delight."

Massage therapist Joan Johnston may work at an iconic Vermont spa, but her life feels anything but serene. She’s deep in debt, burnt out, and still grieving the death of her boyfriend. 

Enter spa guest Carmen Bronze, a hotheaded bestselling romance author, who offers Joan a chance to pay off her debt by dishing spa secrets for Carmen’s next novel. Sounds easy enough . . . until Joan realizes she wants to write the story herself.

This heartfelt, hope-filled debut will have readers rooting for Joan on every page—and laughing out loud at her one-of-a-kind wit.
