"From the acclaimed author of" Why Girls are Weird "comes a second
hilarious and surprising novel about love and family and the weirdo
inside us all."
Belinda "Benny" Bernstein doesn't brag about her life in Los
Angeles, but she "is" proud of her independence. She's got a job
and a place to live, and she even goes out on dates now and again.
But when Benny's mother and sister get into a car accident, she
drops everything to fly across the country and help her injured,
unemployed mom. The only problem? She wasn't exactly invited -- and
back in Virginia she finds herself confronting every issue her
family has avoided for years, including her mom's thriving sex life
and her sister's wild nightlife.
Benny sets about fixing everything she thinks is broken at home,
including mounds of clutter "and" the personal lives of the women
she loves. But she soon stumbles upon a stack of letters that may
reveal her mother's darkest secret. Benny only begins to understand
her mom when she finds herself in a similar dilemma -- torn between
someone she can't have and someone she thinks she "shouldn't" have.
If Benny doesn't sort things out before she's sucked into the
family vortex of dysfunction, there's no telling when she'll be
able to go home again . . . unless this is home, after all.
