A new satirical novel, “Careful-ish: A Ridiculous Romp Through COVID Living As Seen Through the Eyes of Ridiculous People,” written by Park City resident Honey Parker, is inspired by real-life events.

The book, which is available at Amazon, examines the antics of six characters who are in COVID-19 lockdown in New York City. The storylines started forming during Zoom calls among Parker, her husband Blaine and their friends back East.
