“For my second book, Suburban Weird, I felt inspired to write something modern and volatile. I wanted to explore emotions and the seduction of circumstance. What happens when a woman settles on her spouse only to find herself obsessing over her husband’s brother? When Courtney is tested in this situation, the Stein family’s special blend of idiosyncrasies makes for an unforgettable outcome.”
