From the million‑copy bestselling author of The Wedding People, this tender and sharply funny debut arrives in the UK with all the warmth, wit and emotional precision that made Alison Espach a standout voice in contemporary fiction. Her novel captures the bewildering, intimate chaos of growing up—where love is complicated, grief is inevitable and the smallest moments can shape a life.
On a bright summer evening in 1990s Connecticut, fourteen‑year‑old Emily Vidal watches her mother host an extravagant birthday party for a husband already preparing to leave. Caught between feuding parents and eccentric neighbours, Emily stands on the edge of choices and heartbreaks she doesn’t yet understand. As the night unfolds, she moves closer to the realisations that will define her in the years ahead, in a story that’s as rueful as it is full of heart.
