NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Your Life comes a humorous and heartwarming novel about family and finding a second chance at love, set against the backdrop of the most fabulous party you've ever snuck into.
"Sophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter."--Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover It's been almost two years since Effie's beloved parents got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving childhood she thought she had. Since then, she's become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. And now, more earth-shattering news: They've sold Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie has always called home. When Krista decides to throw a grand "house-cooling" party, Effie is originally left off the guest list--and then receives a last-minute "anti-invitation" (maybe it's because she called Krista a gold-digger, but Krista totally deserved it, and it was mostly a joke anyway). Effie declines, but then remembers a beloved childhood treasure is still hidden in the house. Her only chance to retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is busy celebrating. As Effie sneaks around the house, hiding under tables and peeping through trapdoors, she realizes the secrets Greenoaks holds aren't just in the dusty passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring. Watching how her sister, brother, and dad behave when they think no one is looking, Effie overhears conversations, makes discoveries, and begins to see her family in a new light. Then she runs into Joe--the love of her life, who long ago broke her heart, and who's still as handsome and funny as ever--and even more truths emerge. But will Effie act on these revelations? Will she stay hidden or step out into the party and take her place with her family? And truthfully, what did she really come back to Greenoaks for? Over the course of one blowout party, Effie realizes that she must be honest with herself and confront her past before she'll ever be able to face her future.Noch keine Bewertungen vorhanden

Unterhaltsam
Was ist, wenn deine Eltern sich trennen, du aber schon erwachsen bist? Natürlich macht es dir was aus, aber du versuchst dir das nicht anmerken zu lassen. Denn man ist ja jetzt “erwachsen” und müsste damit umgehen können. Und wenn dann dein Vater und seine neue Flamme noch das Haus verkaufen wollen, wo du deine ganze Kindheit drin verbracht hast und in- und auswendig kennst macht es das nicht gerade leichter... So kämpfen alle Geschwister auf ihre Art mit den neuen Umständen. Dies ist wohl der ernste Hintergrund der amüsanten, unterhaltsamen Story. Keine anspruchsvolle Literatur – aber gute Unterhaltung.
