There's ex-groupie Mandy, so underwhelmed by motherhood and her current physical state that she fakes a debilitating disease to get the attention of her skateboarding, ex-boyband member husband Stuart. There's the unconventional new school nurse, Peaches, on whom Stuart has an unrequited crush, and her disappointing husband Greg, who wears noise-cancelling headphones--everywhere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA few blocks away, Roy, a well-known, newly transplanted British novelist, has lost the thread of his next novel and his marriage to indefatigable Wendy. Around the corner, Tupper, the nervous, introverted industrial designer with a warehouse full of prosthetic limbs struggles to pin down his elusive artist wife Elizabeth. Throw in two hormonal teenagers, a ten-year-old pyromaniac, a drug dealer pretending to be a doctor, and a lot of hidden cameras, and you've got a combustible mix of egos, desires, and secrets bubbling in brownstone Brooklyn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Breezy, witty, and compulsively fun to read\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eCobble Hill \u003c\/i\u003eis highly entertaining portrait of contemporary family life and the colorful characters who call Brooklyn home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982147044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336","brand":"Cecily Von Ziegesar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40494101528757,"sku":"9781982147044","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4e915c45-76eb-4b22-b494-98075b0597bb.jpg?v=1626157904","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cobble-hill-9781982147044","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
