Finding happiness is the best revenge.
From the outside, it seems thirty-six-year-old Tess Campbell has it all. A happy marriage, a successful career as a novelist, and an exciting cross-country move ahead. Tess has always played by the rules and it seems like life is good.
Except it’s not. Life is a bitch. And suddenly so is Tess.
When Tess discovers the truth about her marriage, she decides it’s time to live the life she’s always wanted, despite what her family and snake of an ex-husband expect of her. Tess throws caution to the wind and embraces her lifelong dream of exploring the world. Her first stop – scuba diving in Mexico. The sharks she can handle, but the handsome Scottish diving instructor with the flirtatious smile and broad shoulders has Tess tied in knots. With her hard-won independence on the line, Tess must decide what’s scarier – learning to love again or letting her past control her future.
Funny, heart-wrenching, and brutally honest, Ms. Bitch explores one woman’s journey of accepting herself and breaking free of the toxic bonds that hold us back from the life we are truly meant to live.

"An honest, raw novel about love, loss and inner strength. Ms. Bitch takes us on a journey that reveals the family we are born to is not necessarily the family we would--or should--choose.
A deep dive into the relationships that shape us--for better or worse. O'Malley takes us on a heart-felt journey of love and loss. Where the path to true happiness lies not with family, friends or partners--but within ourselves.
Empowering, honest and refreshing. Tess is exactly the kind of heroine I root for--a woman who gets knocked down and picks herself back up, scars and all."
-Barbra Annino, Author of The Bitches of Everafter
