This coming-of-age novel for fans of Becky Albertalli and Nina LaCour
follows two sisters navigating mental health and relationships as they
uncover their family's mysterious past.
Cinnamon and Scarlett are the Prince sisters, the youngest generation of
the Mad Princes who earned their reputation in their seaside town when
their Great Aunt Sadie went missing without a trace decades ago. Even
with the shared history, the sisters can't stand each other. While
Scarlett has been away at school, Cinnamon has stayed to work and take
care of their rock star father after his latest mental-health struggles.
But now Cinnamon and Scarlett are back under the same roof for the
holidays, and things are heating up. Great Aunt Sadie's secrets seem
determined to be unearthed. Scarlett's anxiety is coupled with newfound
feelings for Cinnamon's ex, Will. And Cinnamon can't ignore her growing
attraction to her coworker Daisy.
As each piece of the Prince family's puzzle comes to the fore, Cinnamon
and Scarlett are forced to reckon with demons both personal and
inherited and find a way through that feels right to each of them in
their own way.
With equal parts humor and heart, author Rhiannon Wilde asks how do we
honor our past without letting it define us?
