After being infected with herpes, Joan Halprin, a single woman in her mid-thirties, feels untouchable. She spent her youth enjoying worldly experiences in New York and other cities, but now it’s time to start a serious career as a copywriter for a Fort Lauderdale advertising agency. Despite feeling like a pariah in her personal life, Joan is anxious to prove herself professionally.
Fort Lauderdale in the 1980s is experiencing a real estate boom. Joan’s parents have moved from Boston to a retirement community in the area, and her brother and his thrifty wife have settled nearby. But even with the presence of her family, Joan feels isolated with her “H” problem, despite knowing that one in four women, and one in five men, are similarly afflicted.
Her irascible, rotund new boss certainly isn’t helping her regain her self-esteem. But with her irrepressible humor, Joan concocts an extraordinary solution to most of what ails her. Will this creative project work?
“H”: A Novel is an amusing and original tale of office politics, sex, and one woman’s search for her true identity.

THIS IS A FUN AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING NOVEL. THE MAIN CHARACTER, JOAN, IS WITTY, SMART, AND REAL. SHE IS ACTUALLY A CHARACTER YOU COULD SEE BEING SOMEONE YOU WOULD MEET IN AN EVERYDAY SITUATION. THE WAY SHE REACTS TO SITUATIONS IS THAT OF WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD.
I ALSO LIKE THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TITLE OF THE BOO IS "H" THE HERPES IS JUST A MINOR CHARACTER THAT IS KNOWN THROUGH OUT BUT JUST ADDS TO THE STORY AND DOES NOT OVER TAKE IT. I ALSO REALLY ENJOYED THE CHARACTERS OF THIS NOVEL EACH IS UNIQUE AND FUN, EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BEENING MEAN. I DO LIKE THE LITTLE TWIST AT THE END. TO ME IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE AUTHOR'S FIRST NOVEL, AND I CAN'T WAIT TIL SHE PRODUCES MORE WORKS LIKE THIS ONE!
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO MANY. ITS A VERY EASY READ. IT IS ONLY 118 PAGES SO ITS ALSO A FAST READ. IT RETAILS AT $10.95 AND YOU CAN GET IT VIA THE WEBSITE ABOVE AS WELL AS AMAZON.
