A Very Inconvenient Scandal

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard comes a page-turning family drama that explores the emotional consequences of loyalty, deception and jealousy. Stunned by her recently widowed father´s reckless behavior, a young woman must learn to navigate a new world--where the people she should trust the most have become strangers she cannot trust at all. Frankie Attleboro returns home to Cape Cod with thrilling news. She´s met the love of her life, and they´re getting married with a baby on the way. That´s the moment her father makes his own jaw-dropping announcement: at sixty, he´s getting married as well, to Frankie´s best friend, Ariel, who is also pregnant, and due soon. As Frankie and Ariel struggle to adjust to their new relationship, Ariel´s estranged mother, Carlotta, returns after a decade-long absence. She claims to be a changed woman--but is she really? And where has she been all these years? Frankie is suspicious, and as Carlotta´s unpredictаble behavior intensifies, Frankie must untangle the threads of the past to protect Ariel´s future--and her own.
