Synopsis: The author of the &“brazenly hilarious, tell-it-like-it-is first novel&” (Oprah Daily) Queenie returns with another witty and insightful novel about the power of family—even when they seem like strangers.If you could choose your family...you wouldn&’t choose the Penningtons. Dimple Pennington knows of her half siblings, but she doesn&’t really know them. Five people who don&’t have anything in common except for faint memories of being driven through Brixton in their dad&’s gold jeep, and some pretty complex abandonment issues. Dimple has bigger things to think about. She&’s thirty, and her life isn&’t really going anywhere. An aspiring lifestyle influencer with a terrible and wayward boyfriend, Dimple&’s life has shrunk to the size of a phone screen. And despite a small but loyal following, she&’s never felt more alone in her life. That is, until a dramatic event brings her half siblings Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie, and Prynce crashing back into her life. And when they&’re all forced to reconnect with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things get even more complicated. From an author with &“a flair for storytelling that appears effortlessly authentic&” (Time), People Person is a vibrant and charming celebration of discovering family as an adult.
