"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
Fresh out of rehab and running from scandal, Jaycee Grayson didn’t come to play. A disgraced kids’ entertainment exec with no filter and nothing to lose, she’s landed in Littleburgh, Wisconsin—home to a beloved doll empire where nothing is at it seems. Not the town, not the missing empress behind the lucrative legend, and definitely not the two-faced Prairie Karens running the show.
Setting out to unravel the billion-dollar secret lurking behind a storybook facade, Jaycee rallies a band of fellow misfits: outcasts, dreamers, and the quietly unhinged. But torching a toxic fairytale might cost her something finally within reach—a true purpose, a real home, and a family weird enough to call her own.
With stiletto-sharp sarcasm and a story full of surprises, Horrible Women, Wonderful Girls is perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah’s Firefly Lane, Sirens on Netflix, and anyone who cheers for complicated women quietly breaking all the rules—while rewriting the whole story, loud and proud.
Narrated by Nadia Marshall (Nicole Demara in Zenless Zone Zero) with uncanny range—dialects, characters, villains, airheads, famous dead people, friendly backstabbers, village idiots, and triangulated lovers. Buckle in for a heartfelt, hilarious, and dysfunctional conference call in the heart of Middle America’s most passive-aggressive zip code.
