America’s most wanted isn’t always a balding, middle-aged white man in an unmarked van.
Sometimes it’s a half-billion dollar IPO, a movie-star main squeeze, or becoming the most popular girl in school.
In Janelle Brown’s debut novel, All We Ever Wanted Was Everything, the members of one NorCal family seem to have it all — until it turns out they don’t.
Desperate housewife Janice finds her husband has run off with her tennis partner on the day his company goes public.
Older daughter Margaret faces the bankruptcy of her feminist zine and gets dumped by her boyfriend.
And younger daughter Lizzie learns that what looks like newfound popularity is actually a reputation as school slut.
As their “perfect” lives unravel, the Miller women turn to drugs, sex, and religion to cope, before figuring out that if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.
Especially if it’s a killer summer read.
Available online at amazon.com or at your local bookstore.
