"From the acclaimed author of" Why Girls are Weird "comes a second hilarious and surprising novel about love and family and the weirdo inside us all."Belinda "Benny" Bernstein doesn't brag about her life in Los Angeles, but she "is" proud of her independence. She's got a job and a place to live, and she even goes out on dates now and again. But when Benny's mother and sister get into a car accident, she drops everything to fly across the country and help her injured, unemployed mom. The only problem? She wasn't exactly invited -- and back in Virginia she finds herself confronting every issue her family has avoided for years, including her mom's thriving sex life and her sister's wild nightlife.Benny sets about fixing everything she thinks is broken at home, including mounds of clutter "and" the personal lives of the women she loves. But she soon stumbles upon a stack of letters that may reveal her mother's darkest secret. Benny only begins to understand her mom when she finds herself in a similar dilemma -- torn between someone she can't have and someone she thinks she "shouldn't" have. If Benny doesn't sort things out before she's sucked into the family vortex of dysfunction, there's no telling when she'll be able to go home again . . . unless this is home, after all.
