The Page Turner

About the book

A young romance writer makes a shocking discovery that sends her snobbish family into disarray in this clever, humorous, and thoroughly charming family saga perfect for fans of Elinor Lipman and Jennifer Weiner.

Emma Page was always the odd one out in her intellectual family, where she was taught that only 'serious' literature had value. Her parents, who consider themselves significant writers and operate their own vanity press called The Mighty Pages, frequent elite social circles that scorn anything too mainstream, while her sister Jess is a influential figure in social media whose trendy reviews can make or break a book.

Keeping her own romance novel a secret from her judgmental family, Emma discovers inspiration at their country retreat in the much-maligned 'fluff' they disdain: the steamy summer love stories that once belonged to her late grandmother. However, stumbling upon a hidden revelation from her Gigi's possessions unveils a truth that could devastate her parents' business and tarnish their standing in the literary world-a truth that has already fallen into the hands of a vindictive industry insider. Now Emma must choose-between her desire to witness her parents facing their own pretensions and the temptation to expose The Mighty Pages and ruin their esteemed standing forever.
