Dimple Pennington knew of her half siblings, but she didn't really know them. They are 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eDimple has bigger things to think about. She's thirty, and her life isn't really going anywhere. As an aspiring lifestyle influencer with a terrible and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThat is, until a catastrophic event brings her half siblings—Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie, and Prynce—crashing back into her life. When they're all forced to reconnect with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things get even more complicated. This propulsive story explores the messy realities of adult family bonds, sibling loyalty, and discovering where you belong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCandice Carty-Williams\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cem\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author best known for her debut novel, \u003cem\u003eQueenie\u003c\/em\u003e.
