The New York Times bestselling author of The
Best of Enemies serves up a hilarious new novel of the
“sandwich generation.”
Actuary Penny Sinclair has a head for business, and she
always makes rational decisions. Knowing that 60% of spouses
cheat and 50% of marriages end in divorce, she wasn’t too
surprised when her husband had an affair. (That he did so
with a woman their daughter’s age? Well, that part did sting
a bit.) She just made sure she got everything in the
divorce, including their lovely old Victorian house. And as
soon as her younger daughter has her hipster-fabulous
wedding in the backyard, she’s trading it in for a condo in
downtown Chicago...
Well within the average market time in her area, Penny gets
an offer on the house. But then life happens. Her children,
her parents and her ex come flying back to the nest, all in
need of Penny’s emotional—and financial—support. Spread
thin, Penny becomes the poster child for the “sandwich
generation,” when all she really wanted to do was make
managing director, buy a white couch, and maybe go on a
Match.com date...
