Description
On a bright summer night in 1990s Connecticut, fourteen-year-old Emily Vidal stands on her parents' lawn, watching the adults arrive. Her mother is hosting a lavish birthday party for her father, even though he is about to leave her for another woman.

From the author of the million-copy international bestseller The Wedding People, this ruefully funny debut novel explores love, grief, consequences, and the messy business of growing up.
