Meet the Benedettos

Every family is complicated, and the Benedettos are no exception. A few years after a reality TV show skyrocketed them to pop-culture fame, the five twentysomething sisters are living together in their parents´ crumbling McMansion, nearly broke and teetering towards rock-bottom. Lilly, the sensible second-eldest sister, is all too aware that her family is viewed as a spectacle, but she´s focused on holding herself and her family together, and unlike her siblings she tends not to care what the world thinks. The Benedettos´ fortunes finally appear to be brightening when Charlie Bingley, the dashing star of Captain Fantastic, moves into their Los Angeles neighborhood with his friend Will Darcy in tow. It isn´t long before Charlie falls for the warm and lovely eldest sister, June. Lilly has no such luck: the arrogant and judgmental Will Darcy, a man plagued by his own private demons, seems ready to clash with her at every turn--yet the two can´t seem to stay away from each other. And while the Benedettos´ matriarch sets to work encouraging a potential match between Charlie and June, there are plenty of others in the community who are determined to steer these eligible young men away from a ridiculous family of reality show has-beens... Katie Cotugno brings a big, boisterous cast of characters to life in this deliciously sprawling LA story--a thoroughly fresh and modern tale about a family that´s "famous for being famous," the ways that preconceived notions make fools of us all, and how unexpected romance can bloom despite the odds.
