I LOVED IT, I RACED THROUGH IT. IT'S JUST FANTASTIC WRITING SARAH JESSICA PARKER

EXTREMELY SMART, IMPOSSIBLY FUNNY, AND JUST PLAIN FUN TO READ CARO CLAIRE BURKE, AUTHOR OF YESTERYEAR

A VOICE LIKE NO OTHER LENA DUNHAM

Think your family is dysfunctional? Meet the Flynns.

For the three Flynn daughters, it’s been disastrous since their parents opened up their marriage. Abigail, the eldest, is dating an ex-soldier several years her senior nicknamed ‘War Crimes Wes’. Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist. And the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to a wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone – or something – is monitoring the town’s citizens.

Casting a shadow across their lives is Paul Alabaster, a nefarious local billionaire. Rumours of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with Alabaster’s machinations sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy – one that may just, finally, bring them closer together.
