Alice is in her thirties, single, smart, beautiful, stuck in a dead-end job where she is mired in a rather predictable, though enjoyable, affair with her married boss. Her brother Paul lives in Philadelphia with his older, handsomer, tenured track professor boyfriend who's recently been saying things like \"monogamy is an oppressive heteronormative construct,\" while eyeing undergrads. And then there's Eloise. Perfect, gorgeous, cultured Eloise. The product of Donna's first marriage to a dashing Frenchman, Eloise has spent her school years at the best private boarding schools, her winter holidays in St. John and a post-college life cushioned by a fat, endless trust fund. To top it off, she's infuriatingly kind and decent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As this estranged clan gathers together, and Eloise's walk down the aisle approaches, Grant Ginder brings to vivid, hilarious life the power of family, and the complicated ways we hate the ones we love the most in the most bitingly funny, slyly witty and surprisingly tender novel you'll read this year. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Sinfully good.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-- Elin Hilderbrand\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eEntertainment Weekly's Summer Must-Read\u003cbr\u003e A \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e BEST SUMMER BOOKS, 2017\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Post\u003c\/i\u003e Best Books of Summer\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRedbook\u003c\/i\u003e's 10 Books You Have To Read This Summer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrant Ginder\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe People We Hate at the Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e (which has been adapted into a major motion picture starring Allison Janney, Kristen Bell, and Ben Platt).
