People Person by Candice Carty-Williams
The author of the "brazenly hilarious" (Oprah Daily) Queenie returns with another witty and insightful "treat" (Jesse Armstrong, creator of Succession) of a novel about the power of family--even when they seem like strangers.If you could choose your family...you wouldn't choose the Penningtons.
Dimple Pennington knows of her half-siblings, but she doesn't really know them. Five people who don't have anything in common except for faint memories of being driven through Brixton in their dad's gold jeep, and some pretty complex abandonment issues. Dimple has bigger things to think about.
She's thirty, and her life isn't really going anywhere. An aspiring influencer with a wayward boyfriend, Dimple's life has shrunk to the size of a phone screen. And despite a small but loyal following, she's never felt more alone in her life. That is, until a dramatic event brings her half-siblings--Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie, and Prynce--crashing back into her life. And when they're all forced to reconnect with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things get even more complicated.
Vibrant and charming, People Person is "a way-out combination of family drama, madcap plot, and political edge" (Kirkus Reviews).
