The author of the âbrazenly hilarious, tell-it-like-it-is first novelâ (Oprah Daily) Queenie returns with another witty and insightful âtreatâ (Jesse Armstrong, creator of Succession) of a novel about the power of familyâeven when they seem like strangers.
If you could choose your family...you wouldnât choose the Penningtons.
Dimple Pennington knows of her half-siblings, but she doesnât really know them. Five people who donât have anything in common except for faint memories of being driven through Brixton in their dadâs gold jeep, and some pretty complex abandonment issues. Dimple has bigger things to think about.
Sheâs thirty, and her life isnât really going anywhere. An aspiring lifestyle influencer with a wayward boyfriend, Dimpleâs life has shrunk to the size of a phone screen. And despite a small but loyal following, sheâs never felt more alone in her life. That is, until a dramatic event brings her half-siblingsâNikisha, Danny, Lizzie, and Prynceâcrashing back into her life. And when theyâre 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 âa way-out combination of family drama, madcap plot, and political edgeâ (Kirkus Reviews).
