âSophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.ââJojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover
Itâs been almost two years since Effieâs beloved parents got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving childhood she thought she had. Since then, sheâs become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. And now, more earth-shattering news: Theyâve sold Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie has always called home.
When Krista decides to throw a grand âhouse-coolingâ party, Effie is originally left off the guest listâand then receives a last-minute âanti-invitationâ (maybe itâs 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 arenât 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 Joeâthe love of her life, who long ago broke her heart, and whoâs still as handsome and funny as everâand 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 sheâll ever be able to face her future.
