Addiction, reinvention, and the chaos of toxic workplaces-all wrapped in biting wit and unpredictable turns... Sipos's prose crackles with energy, packing more into a single sentence than some manage on an entire page.-BookLife at Publishers Weekly
Freshly rehabbed and on the run from scandal, Jaycee Grayson did not come to play.
A disgraced kids' entertainment executive with no filter and nothing to lose, she follows the hollow promise of sisterhood to Littleburgh's world-famous doll empire. Nothing is as it seems-not the town, not the empress behind the lucrative legend, and definitely not the two-faced army of Prairie Karens running the show.
When those plastic smiles turn out to mask a billion-dollar web of secrets and lies, Jaycee rallies a succession of quirky outcasts, each desperate for a second chance. But the race to torch a toxic fairy tale could dash all their dreams-and send Jaycee's hard-won sobriety crashing at the bottom of a bottle.
With cold news from home and a three-way romance imploding in the town square, both bedroom and boardroom signal looming disaster. Now Jaycee faces an ironic choice: expose a showcase of heartland hypocrisy-or embrace the messy misfits who may be her last, best shot at home, family, and genuine connection.
With the stiletto-sharp sarcasm of its flawed but fearless heroine, Horrible Women, Wonderful Girls delivers a satirical thrill ride of small-town deception, corporate absurdity, and truths that sting like a slap in Spanx.
