Overview

A fresh and stylish debut following a family of women who are thrust into the spotlight in the wake of a scandal and expertly exploit their newfound fame, perfect for readers of Good Material and Margo's Got Money Troubles. When Lili Lowe gets caught having an affair with her married boss, an admired local politician, she finds herself at the epicenter of a scandal that could dismantle her life as she knows it. She turns, as many women would, to her mother. But Lydia Lowe is not the kind of mother to offer gentle words of consolation. Instead she devises a strategy that doesn't just manage the fallout, it actively exploits it, and Lili goes from making coffee and booking meetings to making headlines and booking talk shows. Soon, thanks to the commodification of Lili's scandal, the whole world knows the Lowe family. Lili's three sisters--Stevie, Iris, and Katie--have differing reactions to being in the spotlight, but once the wheels are turning, it seems impossible to stop what's in motion...and it doesn't take long for the craziness surrounding the Lowes to spiral out of control. Money and celebrity, the Lowes discover, come at a price--sometimes, the louder one's voice (especially a woman's), the more others will seek to silence it. With a potent blend of spectacular style, compulsive voice, sharp social commentary, and ferocious heart, The Lowe Job is escapism with teeth: a contemporary book club novel for the modern reader looking for fresh fiction that is at once funny, sexy, incisive, and heartfelt.
