the nest

How would you live your life if you knew you were going to inherit a serious chunk of change?  Would you throw caution to the wind? Overspend knowing there’d be a net to eventually catch you? Get a little lax in the career department because there’s no financial leverage?

And then what would you do if you found out the money you were depending on suddenly evaporated?

The Plumb family finds out in this terrific debut novel, The Nest.

Four dysfunctional siblings have counted on an inheritance (a “nest egg”) to get them through their adult years – only to learn their reckless older brother has screwed up royally and the money, it seems, is no longer available.  Now what? Set in New York City with a colorful cast of characters, this book delivers on every level.  The story is richly drawn, the dialogue is smart, snappy and believable.  The family dynamics are all spot on. It’s heartfelt and funny and relatable. 

I just loved this story. I’m happy to say librarians love it, too.  It was voted the #4 title on the March LibraryReads list.

It’s been a while since a book has generated this much buzz in-house.

The author has put together a very funny video of people talking about their siblings.

It’s very entertaining – the truth usually is.
