*SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE* Instant New York Times Bestseller; named a Best Book of 2016 by People, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, Refinery29, NPR, and LibraryReads. “Hilarious and big-hearted, The Nest is a stellar debut.” — People This warm, funny, and perceptive debut novel explores the lives of four adult siblings and the shared inheritance that shapes their choices. The Plumb family, notably dysfunctional, confronts years of tension when Melody, Beatrice, and Jack gather to face their reckless older brother, Leo, recently released from rehab. After a drunken driving incident endangers their joint trust fund, “The Nest,” the siblings are forced to reassess their lives. Melody struggles with a hefty mortgage and college tuition for her twin daughters, Jack secretly borrows against his beach cottage to keep his antiques store afloat, and Bea, a once-promising writer, grapples with her unfinished novel. As they confront old resentments and present realities, Leo's ability to help his siblings—and themselves—becomes uncertain. This story delves into family dynamics, friendship, and the emotional and financial impacts of their choices, highlighting the complexities of love and ambition over time. Sweeney crafts a remarkable cast that reveals what money does to relationships and the unbreakable ties we share with those we love.
