McMillan Palgrave
Blackwell North Amer
Dumped by his activist girlfriend when he won't commit to her brand of idealism, reporter Scott Thomas sets out to prove his own dedication to do-gooding. He goes undercover at a fast-food Mexican restaurant where he hopes to lay blame for workplace abuses on the chain's owner, the next secretary of labor.
But instead of revealing corporate wrongdoing, Scott's hidden camera captures his own ineptitude - and his confused flirtation with Maria, a single mom who works the counter. Not sure if he's out to do good or just impress, Scott vows to save Maria from their boss's sexual harassment. But Maria may not be the one who needs saving.
Darkly funny and deeply entertaining, How to Break Bad News looks at a man trying to change the world without changing himself.

Scott Thomas, a 29-year-old TV news producer, is dumped by his activist girlfriend when his pursuit of fluffy, profit-driven news conflicts with her idealism. Fortunately, his latest assignment may help him prove he's not a dilettante. Because he's “bright, young enough to work in fast food, and nobody,” Scott is chosen to go undercover at a Gringo's Southwesten Mexican Grille, a chain owned by a nominee for U.S. secretary of labor. Scott tries to expose workplace abuses, but soon finds himself overwhelmed by a pervy boss, condescending training manuals, and the outsourcing of drive-thru jobs to Jamaica. His own hidden camera exposes his every failure, including his confused flirtation with a 19-year-old single mother who works the counter. Scott vows to save her from the sexual harassment of their boss, but she may not be the one who needs saving.
