Formats & Editions
SISTERS, NOODLES, LOVE AND SEX: THE MOST MEMORABLE READ OF 2027'Sharp, hilarious, and full of surprises, Unwanted Attention proves addictive from page one... I absolutely loved this book' Beck Dorey-Stein, author of Spectacular Things
' A banger of a debut. A hilarious, inventive, and at times heartbreaking tale' Rory Squire, author of Small Talk
Henley is 44, unemployed, three times divorced and desperate to become a mother. Back in her childhood home in suburban Detroit, she stumbles into unlikely success online when her provocative noodle-eating videos go viral, bringing her the money she needs to adopt a baby. And exactly the kind of attention that could make it impossible.
Ferris, Henley's younger sister, has done everything right: She's an oncologist with a successful husband and the life their mother always wanted for her. But after years of grueling, unsuccessful fertility treatments, one decision sends her marriage into freefall - and Ferris home to Mama, too.
Despite having grown apart since their childhood, when a long-buried family secret surfaces, the sisters must come to terms with the complicated truth of their shared history and what it means for their family's future.
Irrepressibly funny, tender, and alive, Unwanted Attention is a wholly original novel about failure and reinvention, mothers and daughters, cultural inheritance, and the people who drive us crazy because they know us best.
