{"product_id":"9781590206300","title":"The Wentworths","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eChemical Pink\u003c\/i\u003e: “While tales of dysfunctional families abound, this one separates itself from the pack” (\u003ci\u003eElle\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Katie Arnoldi’s critically acclaimed debut novel \u003ci\u003eChemical Pink\u003c\/i\u003e launched her onto the bestseller lists and so burrowed itself into the public’s consciousness that its title was the answer to a Double Jeopardy question. Now, seven years later, her second novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Wentworths\u003c\/i\u003e, gives her readers a fascinating, erotic, dark, and savagely funny page-turner that will both thrill her fans and appeal to new readers of all stripes. Arnoldi’s searing portrait of a wealthy Westside, Los Angeles family, is a true binge read—boldly dramatizing the dysfunctionality of the modern American family as it examines how people get so screwed up. Comic and horrifying, sadistic and hilarious, tragic and funny all at the same time, \u003ci\u003eThe Wentworths\u003c\/i\u003e is a shocking, yet redemptive tale that will have fans cheering.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Too funny, too true, too sad, and too short.” —David Mamet, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of \u003ci\u003eold Religion\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Savagely funny . . .

A page-turner both for its well-paced intrigue and for its witty, sordid description of just how awful these people can get.” —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “The #1 beach read of the summer.” —\u003ci\u003eThe Malibu Times\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147157291248,"sku":"9781590206300","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590206300_p0.jpg?v=1769901012","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590206300","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
