There's ex-groupie Mandy, so underwhelmed by motherhood and her current physical state that she fakes a debilitating disease to get the attention of her skateboarding, ex-boyband member husband Stuart. There's the unconventional new school nurse, Peaches, on whom Stuart has an unrequited crush, and her disappointing husband Greg, who wears noise-cancelling headphones--everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA few blocks away, Roy, a well-known, newly transplanted British novelist, has lost the thread of his next novel and his marriage to indefatigable Wendy. Around the corner, Tupper, the nervous, introverted industrial designer with a warehouse full of prosthetic limbs struggles to pin down his elusive artist wife Elizabeth. Throw in two hormonal teenagers, a ten-year-old pyromaniac, a drug dealer pretending to be a doctor, and a lot of hidden cameras, and you've got a combustible mix of egos, desires, and secrets bubbling in brownstone Brooklyn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Breezy, witty, and compulsively fun to read\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eCobble Hill \u003c\/i\u003eis highly entertaining portrait of contemporary family life and the colorful characters who call Brooklyn home.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCecily von Ziegesar is the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of the Gossip Girl novels, upon which the hit television show is based.
