520    "It's been over two years since Effie's beloved parents 
       got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving 
       childhood she thought she had. Since then, she's become 
       estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his 
       hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. And now, more 
       earth-shattering news: Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian 
       country house Effie called home her whole life, has been 
       sold. When Krista decides to throw a grand "house cooling"
       party, Effie is originally left off the guest list-and 
       then receives a last-minute "anti-invitation" (maybe it's 
       because she called Krista a gold-digger, but Krista 
       totally deserved it, and it was mostly a joke anyway). 
       Effie declines, but then remembers a beloved childhood 
       treasure is still hidden in the house. Her only chance to 
       retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is 
       busy celebrating. As Effie sneaks around the house, hiding
       under tables and peeping through trapdoors, she realizes 
       the secrets Greenoaks holds aren't just in the dusty 
       passageways and hidden attics she grew up exploring. 
       Watching how her sister, brother, and dad behave when they
       think no one is looking, Effie overhears conversations, 
       makes discoveries, and begins to see her family in a new 
       light. Then she runs into Joe-the love of her life, who 
       long ago broke her heart, and who's still as handsome and 
       funny as ever-and even more truths emerge. But will Effie 
       act on these revelations? Will she stay hidden or step out
       into the party and take her place with her family? And 
       truthfully, what did she really come back to Greenoaks 
       for? Over the course of one blowout party, Effie realizes 
       that she must be honest with herself and confront her past
       before she'll ever be able to face her future"--|cProvided
