Description
*This gorgeous edition comes with French flaps, deckled edges, and spot gloss*
From the author of the Magnolia Parks universe and the Never series comes a fresh family drama with a heavy dose of romance and a twist of mystery.
“I can’t remember the last time I couldn’t get a handle on myself and my emotions, but the lid is slipping.
Something about the slipping lid feels like it’s Sam Penny’s fault. Like he broke the seal and he’s slowly opening me up.”
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 harbors 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 unraveling 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.

About The Author | An Australian-native, Jessa Hastings now lives in Sherman Oaks, California with her husband, two children, her cat and a dog that she semi-regrets getting. She feels guilty writing that here but is fairly confident he won’t read it. She is presently exasperated by the US medical systems (but who isn’t?), she’s also knee-deep in Stranger Things theories and is an aspiring water-connoisseur. She still misses Australian breakfasts, tans very well and highly recommends the Coconut Cake from Erewhon. She still (obviously) struggles to write a topically relevant author’s biography and Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home is her third novel. Sorry for this. |
Review Quote | "Hastings doesn’t pull any emotional punches as the angsty plot unfolds. Readers who like their romances on the dark and soapy side will eat this up." ― Publishers Weekly |
