Sinopse

In "Potluck Panic Protocol," Martha Simmons, a retired librarian with an obsession for order, faces her ultimate challenge: hosting the annual neighborhood potluck in the charming town of Millbrook. When a simple invitation mix-up leads to an eclectic assortment of unexpected guests, Martha's carefully orchestrated event descends into hilarious mayhem.   
Vegetarians butt heads with barbecue enthusiasts, while gluten-free zealots wage war against pastry aficionados, turning the gathering into a comedic battleground of dietary preferences and cultural clashes. Determined to salvage her soirée, Martha enlists the help of her tech-savvy grandson and a motley crew of neighbors. Together, they concoct increasingly absurd "protocols" to navigate the chaos, resulting in uproarious consequences that will leave readers in stitches.   
This clever, warm-hearted tale serves up a generous helping of laughter while exploring themes of community spirit, flexibility, and finding joy in life's unexpected twists. With its quirky characters, suburban setting, and running gag of escalating potluck rules, this social satire offers a delightful feast for fans of humorous fiction and family dynamics.

    Gold Medal: Wishing Shelf Book Awards/UK 2019. Finalist: National Indie Excellence Awards 2019 and 2019 IAN Book of the Year Awards. 
    Ideal Reader/Listener: Women 35+. 
    Playful. Compelling. Deeply layered. What You Don’t See raises the stakes in friendship against the bittersweet backdrop of motherhood and the endlessly entertaining activities of well-heeled women’s groups. The story follows Livi, a spirited, outspoken PR executive, pivoting at thirty to full-time wife and mom. That goes better than imagined, until she gets tangled in a relationship with another mom. 
    What You Don’t See—set in an affluent Southern California neighborhood and a local hangout bar on the Mississippi Gulf Coast—is anything but ordinary. There’s a talking, know-it-all cat; a large, menacing cockroach; and a host of colorful characters, stirring it up as Livi wrestles with timeless questions of truth, friendship, and free will. 
    "From Mississippi to California, this very engaging story of two women and their relationship is full of depth and emotion. The characters are fantastic and very realistic. One comes away from the book with a sense of learning something important about how the world works." - IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Judge

David Mitchell's GCSE results are very impressive".
