- Baker & Taylor
When her daughter, Greta, makes headlines as an extremist protestor in Paris, Nancy Harrison, running for Senate, must find Greta to save her campaign before itâs too late. 75,000 first printing. - Baker & Taylor
"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 tear-jerking, Let's Not Do That Again proves that, like democracy, family is a messy, fragile thing"-- - McMillan Palgrave
"Hilarious, suspenseful, and whip smart."
âCynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
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 which proves that, like democracy, family is a messy and fragile thing âperfect for fans of Veepâs biting humor, the family drama of Succession, and the joys of Kevin Wilsonâs Nothing to See Here.
Nancy Harrison is running for Senate, and sheâs going to win, goddamnit. Not that thatâs her slogan, although it could be. Sheâs said all the right things. Passed all the right legislation. Chapped her lips kissing babies. Thereâs 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 thereâs 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. Sheâs in Paris. With extremist protestors. Throwing a bottle of champagne through a beloved bistroâs front window. In order to save her campaign, not to mention her daughter, Nancy and Nick must find Greta before itâs too late.
Smart, funny, and surprisingly tender, Let's Not Do That Again shows that family, like politics, can hurt like a mother.
