About the Book
From the bestselling author of One-Hit Wonder comes the irresistible tale of three brothers in search of love, meaning, and happily-ever-after.
Brothers Tony, Sean, and Ned had the perfect upbringing. They adore their parents and actually look forward to coming home for Sunday lunch. But now that they're grown up, real life is starting to get in the way. Tony's dealing with divorce and a weight problem. Novelist Sean is up against a serious case of writer's block and a shock announcement from his "perfect" new girlfriend. Their parents have a new lodger, Gervase—why is Bernie, their mother, so keen to give this unsavory waif a home? And what is the real reason for kid brother Ned's surprise return from his travels in Australia? As effervescent as champagne, as addictive as chocolate, A Friend of the Family is a hilarious, dead-on-target story certain to delight Lisa Jewell's growing legion of devoted fans.

The Review
OK - Lisa Jewell has always given us great characters - but how exactly did she get inside the head of three different guys??? Insightful and extremely funny - Friend of the Family will keep you laughing and entertained - exactly what we've come to expect from Ms. Jewell!
