Honey Parker's “Careful-ish” trilogy is repackaged with reckless abandon! The fun and funny friends comedy series' covers now reflect its color and diversity for post-pandemic amusement.
Park City,United States - October 28, 2022 /PressCable/ —
Three crazy novels riding on humor, heart and the hilarity of lockdown in NYC have finally taken off their masks. Available in paperback and Amazon Kindle editions, the “Careful-ish” trilogy is now showing its colors in public, unleashing the joys of Honey Parker’s three-book tour de force for the continuing comic weirdness of our times.
“The masked covers are so two years ago,” says Honey. “It was time to give these young adults some breathing room and let people see them.”
The new cover designs for “Careful-ish,” “Daughter of Careful-ish” and “Bride Of Careful-ish” now help show the range of diversity that represent these six friends and their bevy of bad choices.
In one of the most comprehensive critical reviews of “Daughter Of Careful-ish,” the second book, Libby Wiersema of “IndieReader” says, “Shockingly and hilariously ‘uncareful-ish’… The real beauty of this juicy read is that…the realities of the pandemic become someone else’s problem.” That comment is a virtual brush for painting the success of the series: lockdown happens, hilarity ensues, and any of our problems now belong to other people.
The trilogy follows the misadventures of 20-something friends in New York City. They’re struggling to find their way through life gone outlandish. How will they maintain their marbles, paychecks, sex lives, and their weekly video-chat drinking date?
“Careful-ish” sets the stage. “Daughter Of Careful-ish” mixes in a dose of parental discord in a Sunshine State 55-and-over community (where the choices are equally as bad if not worse). And “Bride Of Careful-ish” adds the will-she-or-won’t-she craziness of a same-sex wedding by an inter-racial couple with culturally traditional ethnic parents who (surprise!) disapprove in the accent of the old country.
Of the sequels, readers have routinely said things like, “The minute I opened the book I was right back in the middle of the wittiest group of friends I wish I had. I missed these crazy people.”
So how did these three books, each of which move along at a breakneck speed, get written so quickly? These three COVID comedies came out literally on the timeline of the pandemic they portray. Honey Parker says, “I spoke to an agent I know who said that quick timing on this would be critical, and there’s no way a traditional publisher would be able to make it happen. So we had to go non-traditional—much the way these characters do.
The trilogy also began life non-traditionally. Says Honey, “A network executive asked me to write a sitcom proposal for the craziness that was life during COVID. As with most TV and film pitches, it went nowhere—mainly because another network rushed in with a half-baked COVID comedy that flopped. So the subject became untouchable. But I loved the characters so much, and their situations were so enjoyably ridiculous, that I had to bring them all to life. And I love that my fans embraced them.”
