PRAISE FOR BEST BEHAVIOR
“Entertaining and breezy… There’s just enough mystery, drama, stink-eye and yes, love, to keep you reading to the absolute end. In short, there’s something in this story that relates to every family.”—LEE WOODRUFF, “Book Marks” Pick
“With a title like Best Behavior, you can be sure you’re in for some very juicy BAD behavior—and Wendy Francis doesn’t disappoint. With warmth and humor, Best Behavior delivers a delicious family drama; look no further for your perfect poolside read!”—JAMIE BRENNER, bestselling author of The Forever Summer
“What could go wrong when you put a blended family up against the perils of a college graduation weekend and mix in twin graduates, divorced parents, opinionated grandparents and a young stepmom out of her depths? Enough to populate a delightful, smartly paced read in which plenty goes right too. Francis writes with grace, depth and humor about complex family dynamics and the joy and heartache of watching young adults spread their wings and fly from the nest.”—MEG MITCHELL MOORE, author of The Islanders
“Wendy Francis captures all the joy and pain of being an (almost) empty-nester in her latest novel. Picture a college graduation weekend on a lovely New England campus. Now mix in some booze, an ex or two, the in-laws, a trophy wife, and loads of secrets/scandals. Soon enough, no one is behaving at their best. A terrific summer read.”—AMY POEPPEL, author of Small Admissions
