Let's Not Do That Again
Meet the Harrisons! A mother running for Senate, a son running from his problems and a daughter running straight into trouble.
From Grant Ginder, the author of THE PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING, comes a poignant, funny and slyly beguiling novel that proves that, like democracy, family is a messy and fragile thing --- perfect for fans of the biting humor of "Veep," the family drama of "Succession" and the joys of Kevin Wilson’s NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
Nancy Harrison is running for Senate, and she’s going to win, goddamnit. Not that that’s her slogan, although it could be. She’s said all the right things. Passed all the right legislation. Chapped her lips kissing babies. There’s just one problem: her grown children.
Greta and Nick Harrison are adrift. Nick is floundering in his attempts to write a musical about the life of Joan Didion (called "Hello to All That!"). And then there’s his little sister, Greta. Smart, pretty and completely unmotivated, allowing her life to pass her by like the shoppers at the Apple store where she works.
One morning the world wakes up not to Nancy making headlines, but her daughter, Greta. She’s in Paris. With extremist protestors. Throwing a bottle of champagne through a beloved bistro’s front window. In order to save her campaign, not to mention her daughter, Nancy and Nick must find Greta before it’s too late.
Smart, funny and surprisingly tender, LET'S NOT DO THAT AGAIN shows that family, like politics, can hurt like a mother.
