Meet Effie, who’s still not over her parents splitting up (and thinks no-one should have to deal with their father and his new girlfriend’s PDA all over Instagram, or with the hashtags #viagraworks and #sexinyoursixties). Now the family’s split up, the family home needs to be sold; but there’ll be one last party. Effie hasn’t been invited! But that’s not going to stop her going. After all, there are precious dolls from her childhood to find, old boyfriends to bump into, and secrets to discover. You had us at the hashtags … The Party Crasher is a hilarious beach read. Penguin
