Number One bestselling author Sophie Kinsella returns with an irresistible new standalone about family love, family tensions and exactly what you might hear everyone saying if they didn't know you were there . . .
They're having one last family party. But Effie hasn't been invited . . .
Effie's still not over her parents splitting up a year ago and now, to add insult to injury, her dad has a new girlfriend and she's forced to look at Instagram photos with captions like #neverbeenhappier and #sexinyoursixties.
They're planning to sell the beloved family home and, before they do, they're having a 'house-cooling' party. But Effie's been sent a muted 'anti-invitation', so she won't go - she can't.
Then she remembers her precious Russian dolls, safely tucked away up a chimney. So she decides to attend but not as a guest. She'll just creep in, grab the dolls and leave. No one will know she was there.
Nothing goes to plan. Not only does Effie bump into her ex-boyfriend - who she's very much not over - she can't find the dolls. What she finds instead is a cryptic fragment of an email - someone in her family is facing 'calamity'. And she can't leave until she finds out who.
