Janelle Brown

Janice hat alles, was eine Frau braucht: einen erfolgreichen Ehemann, zwei reizende Tochter, eine prachtige Villa vor den Toren San Franciscos. Und als ein genial eingefadelter Borsencoup ihres Mannes der Familie auf einen Schlag Millionen beschert, scheint ihr Gluck vollkommen zu sein. Doch Janice hat die Rechnung ohne ihren Gatten gemacht, und plotzlich sturzt ihr perfektes Leben ein wie ein Kartenhaus.

Nina gagne sa vie en escroquant la jeunesse dorée de Los Angeles qu’elle traque sur les réseaux sociaux. La jeune femme a été à bonne école depuis son enfance : sa mère, une arnaqueuse de première, s

Set amid the manicured lawns, glossy Porsche four-wheel drives, and country club whispers of the Silicon Valley nouveau riche, ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING chronicles one particularly eventful summer in the life of the Miller family. Three very different women, each poised for success, find themselves failing spectacularly: Janice, a devoted mother and housewife who''s approaching fifty finds herself abandoned by her husband just as his lucrative IPO goes public; her adult daughter Margaret, a post-feminist magazine editor is left in the lurch by an investor who had promised to rescue her flagging publication; and her younger teenage daughter Lizzie, an endearingly na ve fourteen-year-old struggling to understand the sexual politics and popularity contests that dominate high school, is humiliated by the boys whose affections she had so unquestioningly embraced. We follow the three of them over the course of one summer as at first they hide their crises - addiction, teenage promiscuity, bankruptcy - from one another, but then find their secrets exposed as the curtain-twitching world they inhabit begins to intrude. The Miller women cloister themselves in their suburban home for the summer and do battle with debt collectors, divorce lawyers, drug-dealing pool boys, and each other. ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING is a thoughtful and clever study of three very different women trying to keep afloat; a wonderfully entertaining exploration of how our notions of failure, success, and personal fulfillment are complicated by the expectations of family, culture, and an increasingly money-obsessed society.

As children, Sam and Elli were two halves of a perfect whole: gorgeous identical twins whose parents sometimes couldn't even tell them apart. And once Hollywood discovered them, they became B-list child TV stars, often inhabiting the same role. But as adults, their lives have splintered. After leaving acting, Elli reinvented herself as the perfect homemaker: married to a real estate lawyer, living in a house just blocks from the beach. Meanwhile, Sam has never recovered from her failed Hollywood career, or from her addiction to the pills and booze that have propped her up for the last fifteen years. Sam hasn't spoken to her sister since her destructive behavior finally drove a wedge between them. So when her father calls out of the blue, Sam is shocked to learn that Elli's life has been in turmoil: her husband moved out, and Elli just adopted a two-year-old girl. Now she's stopped answering her phone and checked in to a mysterious spa in Ojai. Is her sister just decompressing, or is she in trouble? Could she have possibly joined a cult? As Sam works to connect the dots left by Elli's baffling disappearance, she realizes that the bond between her and her sister is more complicated than she ever knew.
