 THE BRAND NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION MAGNOLIA PARKS

****

London-based Georgia Carter, professional lie-detector and body-language savant, has long been estranged from her infuriating, close-minded, wealthy South Carolina family. After a falling-out years ago, the chasm runs deep between the black sheep - Georgia and her gay, alcoholic brother - and their parents and elder siblings. But when their father dies suddenly, Georgia returns to the States for the funeral ... where she comes face-to-face with Sam Penny, her brother's AA sponsor.

Amid the tensions, dramas and revelations of the family reunion, Georgia and Sam are instantly drawn to each other.

However, Georgia's brother also harbours feelings for Sam, and the last thing Georgia wants to do is hurt the only family she's ever really had.

When their father's will reveals a surprising bequest to a mysterious stranger, Georgia's ability to read people becomes crucial in unravelling her father's hidden past. The delicate balance within the family teeters, and secrets - both old and new - threaten to push them beyond the breaking point.

There are only so many cracks a damaged family can take before it shatters.©2025 Jessa Hastings (P)2025 Orion Publishing Group Limited Contemporary Family Life Genre Fiction World Literature Body Language

Overall the story was enjoyable and easy to get through, and I liked the characters and their development across the story. At times the narration quality sounded poor, sounding like some parts had been re reordered with the narrators mouth closer or further away from the microphone which impacted the overall listening experience. I liked the male narrators voice but sometimes I feel like he didn’t capture the right emotions.

An easy read

Flawless. This book was funny, gripping, lull-lacking, full of depth and articulated interpersonally relationships so beautifully. I never wanted this story to end and felt a sense of loss closing the back cover on these characters and their world. It has taken winner of my favourite book ever. Couldn’t recommend more. Jessa Hastings can do no wrong. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Whilst in some ways the story was predictable it was nevertheless interesting. The many layers of family dynamics are explored from a psychological perspective. The male narrator didn’t integrate well with the female narrator.

Loved the characters, narration was done really well. Sam a refreshing MMC. I could not stop listening, not sure if it was the fact that Sam sounded like Eddie perfect which gave me offspring vibes or the fact that I needed Georgia to get revenge. great listen you won't be disappointed
