內容簡介

內容簡介 《The Party Crasher》紐約時報排名第一的暢銷書作家繼《Love Your Life》之後推出全新小說，以溫馨幽默的筆觸述說關於家庭、家人和親情 主角Effie深愛的父母離異已經兩年多了，她原本快樂、充滿愛的童年從此毀於一旦，她雖然和父親疏遠，卻與他年輕火辣的女朋友Krista發生爭執，更驚天動地的消息是：綠橡樹，Effie一生稱之為家的維多利亞式鄉村別墅已被出售。 當Krista決定舉辦盛大的新家派對，Effie隨後想起她心愛的童年寶藏仍然藏在房子裡，她唯一的機會就是在大家忙著慶祝的時候潛入綠橡樹別墅，當Effie偷偷地進入房子，她意外地發現到許多真相和秘密…… Effie會因為這樣有所行動嗎？她會躲藏起來還是現身走進派對？她也意識到在面對未來之前必須對自己誠實面對過去From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Your Life comes a humorous and heartwarming novel about family, set against the backdrop of the most fabulous party you’ve ever snuck into.“Another triumph, packed with brilliant characters and madcap situations.”—Jill MansellIt’s been over two years since Effie’s beloved parents got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving childhood she thought she had. Since then, she’s become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. And now, more earth-shattering news: Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie called home her whole life, has been sold. When Krista decides to throw a grand “house cooling” party, Effie is originally left off the guest list—and then receives a last-minute “anti-invitation” (maybe it’s because she called Krista a gold-digger, but Krista totally deserved it, and it was mostly a joke anyway). Effie declines, but then remembers a beloved childhood treasure is still hidden in the house. Her only chance to retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is busy celebrating. As Effie sneaks around the house, hiding under tables and peeping through trapdoors, she realizes the secrets Greenoaks holds aren’t just in the dusty passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring. Watching how her sister, brother, and dad behave when they think no one is looking, Effie overhears conversations, makes discoveries, and begins to see her family in a new light. Then she runs into Joe—the love of her life, who long ago broke her heart, and who’s still as handsome and funny as ever—and even more truths emerge. But will Effie act on these revelations? Will she stay hidden or step out into the party and take her place with her family? And truthfully, what did she really come back to Greenoaks for? Over the course of one blowout party, Effie realizes that she must be honest with herself and confront her past before she’ll ever be able to face her future."From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Your Life comes a humorous and heartwarming novel about family, set against the backdrop of the most fabulous party you've ever snuck into.
