In this charming follow-up to Birds of California, an A-list movie star relocates to Los Angeles, next door to a family of five eligible sisters. The Benedettos, once propelled to fame by a reality show, are now struggling to make ends meet while living in their parents' crumbling McMansion. Their fortunes shift when Charlie Bingley, the dashing star of Captain Fantastic, moves into the neighborhood with his best friend, Will Darcy. Charlie quickly falls for June, the oldest sister, while their mother, Cinta, eagerly supports the budding romance. However, many are determined to keep Charlie away from this family of reality show has-beens. Lilly, the sensible second sister, is acutely aware of her family's public perception and faces her own deeper sorrows. She finds Will to be arrogant and judgmental, while he views her as loud and defensive. Despite their clashes, an undeniable attraction simmers beneath the surface. Katie Cotugno crafts a vibrant cast of characters in this modern tale about a family famous for being famous, the folly of preconceived notions, and the unexpected nature of romance.
