A Very Inconvenient Scandal: A Novel
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Mitchard comes a thrilling family drama that explores the emotional consequences of loyalty, deception and jealousy.
Stunned by her recently widowed father’s reckless behavior, a young woman must learn to navigate a new world—where the people she should trust the most have become strangers she cannot trust at all.
Frankie Attleboro returns home to Cape Cod with thrilling news. She’s met the love of her life, and they’re getting married with a baby on the way. That’s the moment her father makes his own jaw-dropping announcement: at sixty, he’s getting married as well, to Frankie’s best friend, Ariel, who is also pregnant, and due soon.
As Frankie and Ariel struggle to adjust to their new relationship, Ariel’s estranged mother, Carlotta, returns after a decade-long absence. She claims to be a changed woman—but is she really? And where has she been all these years? Frankie is suspicious, and as Carlotta’s unpredictable behavior intensifies, Frankie must untangle the threads of the past to protect Ariel’s future—and her own.

About the author
Jacquelyn Mitchard
80 books1,229 followersJacquelyn Mitchard’s first novel, The Deep End of the Ocean, was named by USA Today as one of the ten most influential books of the past 25 years – second only to the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (but second by a long shot, it must be said.)
The Deep End of the Ocean was chosen as the first novel in the book club made famous by the TV host Oprah Winfrey, and transformed into a feature film produced by and starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
Most of Mitchard’s novels have been greater or lesser bestsellers – and include The Most Wanted, A Theory of Relativity, Twelve Times Blessed, The Breakdown Lane, The Good Son, and Cage of Stars. Critics have praised them for their authentic humanity and command of story. Readers identify because they see reflected, in her characters – however extreme their circumstances – emotions they already understand.
Mitchard also has written four novels for young adults.
The first, Now You See Her, from HarperTeen, is the story of a pampered, driven young actress who fakes her own abduction.
All We Know of Heaven told the story of lifetime best friends Bridget and Maureen, who are just sixteen when a fatal crash on an icy road and a poignant case of mistaken identity divide their small Minnesota town forever.
The Midnight Twins was the first in a trilogy of teen mysteries about identical twin sisters born on New Year’s Eve – one a minute before and a minute after midnight – Meredith and Mallory Brynn learn on the night they turn thirteen that their psychic abilities will force them to intervene in dire events, although one twin can see only the future and one can see only the past. The Midnight Twins is in development as a TV series by Kaleidoscope Entertainment.
Mitchard's newest novel for adult, A Very Inconvenient Scandal, out in November 2023 from Mira/HarperCollins, is the story of an acclaimed young underwater photographer whose famed marine biologist father shatters their family by marrying her best friend., a woman 35 years his junior.
At the local coffee shop, Mitchard is best-known as the mother of Rob, Dan, Marty, Francie, Mia, Will and Atticus , as the grandma of Hank and Diana and the wife of handsome Chris Brent.
Her favorite color is periwinkle blue; her favorite holiday is Halloween; her favorite flower is freesia; her favorite word is "smite," and her second favorite is "Massachusetts"; her lucky number is 119 (anyone who can guess where that comes from wins free first editions of her novels for life). She lives in her favorite place on earth, Cape Cod, summering in a villa on the Amalfi Coast. (Guess which part of that sentence is fiction.)
Her essays have appeared in publications including the New York Times, Chicago Tribune Magazine and Reader's Digest, and are widely anthologized and used in school curricula. She has taught in MFA programs in Vermont, Ohio, and Massachusetts, and is part of the faculty at the Summer Writers Institute at Yale University. She is a member of the Tall Poppies Writers and has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the Ragdale Foundation.
Her pet peeves are known authors and editors who cannot and will not learn the difference between “lie” and “lay” and family signs pluralized with apostrophes.
She would love to appear on just ONE episode of any incarnation of ‘Law and Order,’ as has everyone else in America. She still is willing to play the role of a murder victim – except one found by earth-moving equipment in a landfill – though she would do that in a pinch.
Mitchard would like to have a swimming pool, because, although she lives near the ocean, she is afraid of the dark water and hates sand. She would love to have a clawfoot tub, or any tub.
She believes that stories are the ways that human beings make sense of life and that our stories will save us.

I was so excited to see a new book by Mitchard on the shelves as I’m a big fan and it’s been a long time since she’s written anything. But this book is so so bad. The characters aren’t well developed at all and there are massive time jumps almost without explanation. The plot is almost unbelievable and so ridiculous.
Frankie’s mother dies suddenly from an untreated strep infection (really?! In this day and age Mitchard chose strep as the killer of choice? It would have been more believable to just say she died suddenly in her sleep). Frankie, an underwater photographer, keeps busy with work in order to deal with her grief and doesn’t have much to do with her family afterwards. So she doesn’t know that her widowed dad and best friend Ariel have shacked up together and are expecting a baby very soon. That is until one year after her mother’s death she receives a text message from her dad telling her to come home immediately. Needless to say Frankie is very surprised to find very pregnant Ariel has taken over the ancestral home of her mother. Frankie is 5 months pregnant herself, a secret she didn’t share with her family (why I’m not sure as her character is so underdeveloped). Nor did she tell them about her Canadian fiancé who apparently impregnated her the first day they met when she told him maybe they should forego the condom and see what happens. And he agrees!
I wish I could say the ridiculousness stops here but I would be lying. At the wedding, Ariel’s mother Carlotta, who disappeared 10 years ago, returns. There is no confrontation between bride and mom and I wonder why Mitchard would skip over this opportunity to write about conflict. Instead she seamlessly inserts Carlotta into the novel without fanfare. She now lives with Ariel and her new husband in their gigantic home. What?!
This is a train wreck from page one. I can’t believe I even made it to page 100. There are so many other good books to read. I’m going to have to put this one down.

Catching up…
Families are complicated.
And…
It doesn’t help when you have happy news, only to find out something about your parents that you didn’t really want to know.
How…
Could her father be so selfish?
And…
Doing this with her former best friend?
And then…
After all these years, her mother shows up?
My head hurts from this mean-girling drama with twisty, cunning characters who throw immature temper tantrums.
Maybe you will feel differently?

I love this author's writing, but this was a weird book for me. I couldn't tell if it was a family drama, a nature story or eventually, a story written about a murderer. It's impossible to classify, but it still was interesting, though it dragged at times.
Thank you to Edelweiss+ for the ARC.

3.5-4⭐️ This was a bit different than I had envisioned going in, and yet I still found myself fully immersed in this scintillating family drama, literally from the go. The story is quite a mashup with elements of literary fiction, domestic suspense and even a touch of romance. The author does a fantastic job fully developing each and every character (and there are a few) and managed to keep me guessing throughout the story. I listened on audio, and have to give credit to Caroline Hewitt, who really brought the story to life for me.

2.5 stars.
Weird book for me, was hard to tell if the focus was the family dramas, the nature and photography of nature or the research foundation. Was definitely busy and don’t feel it did any of those areas really well. Should have picked one and focused on it and maybe less on the others.
I didn’t connect with the characters. They weren’t developed well for me nor did I really like any of them. Also had a weird dynamic of calling out to her friend when in trouble and her friend hearing her in ear while miles away.
Wasn’t a favorite for sure and honestly amazed I finished it.

Long-time Mitchard fan here, but this one was a struggle. She couldn't seem to decide on a storyline or genre here. She threw everything in a stew that just wasn't appetizing. Best thing of it is the interesting characters, just wish I could figure out exactly what they're doing.

This was just completely disjointed. There were some decent characters (and some ridiculous) and somehow the storytelling was good enough to keep me going. But what was the main theme? What was the primary story? It also felt like plot points were just skipped over. Sloppy.

Ummmm…… what the hell did I just read

if you read this as a domestic thriller, you will be disappointed. if you read this as a family drama where you slowly learn everybody’s dirty little secrets… it’s literally awesome

I'm a longtime fan of Mitchard's so this was right up my alley! Frankie and once-best-friend Ariel are both pregnant. The difference is Frankie is getting married to Gil whom she adores...and Ariel is marrying Frankie's dad, Mack--who lost his wife, Beatrice. So tensions are high as Frankie is unhappy with Ariel who is her age and now engaged to her father! Enter Ellabella, a "mean girl" from the girls' past and Carlotta, Ariel's mother who has her own secrets. So many scandalous topics: revenge, narcissism, and affairs. But Mitchard always weaves an intriguing tale and there are wonderful ways to envision families even when they aren't considered traditional, once again showcasing her talent for the unusual but always believing, as she quotes another of my favorite books, The Member of the Wedding, that there's a "we in me"!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

Simply no one tells a tale of drama and mystery like Jacquelyn Mitchard. A Very Inconvenient Scandal is pure Mitchard filled with gorgeous sentences and twists and turns that keep a reader to turning pages into the night. A brilliant writer and observer of the intricacies of the human experience, you cannot go wrong with a Mitchard book.
You can smell the sea, taste the salt and feel the heat. Don’t pass this by. It’s another gem from the master.

This story jolts into action when lead character, pregnant Frankie, learns her best friend, Ariel, is involved with Frankie's widower father and also pregnant with his child. Thus we have all the elements of a cringingly uncomfortable and dramatic family saga. It was a fairly interesting read although I didn't like or care about any of the characters so I did expect more than this book delivered. 2.5 stars.

Family secrets come to light as a father and daughter each contemplate their own marriages and children. Frankie is stunned when her father tells her he getting married, just a short time after the death of his wife/her mother - and not just because of its suddenness, but because his bride to be is Frankie's best friend Ariel, 30 some years his junior! When Ariel's estranged mother shows up after a 10 year absence, many worlds are rocked. Roles are reversed, and pressure builds as Carlotta wheedles her way back into Ariel's sphere, getting closer to her new grandson. Frankie probes into Carlotta's shady past, and knows that some secrets must be revealed. A bit of magic realism oddly slips into the conclusion.

Wowww is this book bad. I don’t wanna like genuinely hate on someone’s art form but what was even going on? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this author and I’ve heard she’s good otherwise so this book was a real bummer. The storyline was so convoluted and dragged and wrapped up so sloppily. The writing seems like she had a deadline and was severely behind and wrote it all in one night. The main character and basically every character (aside from the babies mainly because they don’t do anything) are so unbearable and unlikable. The gaslighting in this story is crazy. Although Frankie did overreact a lot, calling her a bitch for being upset that her BEST FRIEND and DAD are getting married THIS WEEKEND and ARE VERY FAR ALONG IN PREGNANCY and y’all said NOTHING to her until the day she showed up and you expect her to be calm about it? I would’ve literally stopped talking to everyone in this story, no one knows when to stop giving people chances. Carlotta also has the most complicated and confusing plot lines I’ve ever followed. Is she a really bad person or not? Her crimes (attempted murder, poisoning and drugging, etc.) are just overlooked. Her showing up to Ariel’s wedding and there’s SO much you can do with that concept, but NOTHING is done. No confrontation or anything. She was gone for 12 YEARS. Straight up left with no explanation. I feel like Ariel’s dad being discovered was the only plot that actually came to a close. I’m not one to like shame peoples names if they’re from a different culture or language, but the name Frankie and her husband give their baby is just ,, wow. His name is Attleboro. I’m convinced the author didn’t even look up what that word means. The meaning of attleboro is a burden, impediment or hinderance. Nice. Ariel and Mac also name their kid Banner but call him Ben. Just name him Ben then? I’m being nit picky but this story truly had me dumbfounded. I don’t understand majority of the choices made in this story. The emphasis on what they ate everyday, when that added like absolutely nothing into the story. The eagle plot line? (I think it was an eagle idk) was sooooooo like not worth all the build up they did for it. Overall, avoid this one.

DNF. I’ve loved most of Jacquelyn Mitchard’s books in the past but I couldn’t get past the surprisingly poor writing and I found it impossible to relate to the characters.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Wow! I love this novel. A brilliant family becomes dysfunctional when the loving mother dies too young. The mostly absent father takes up with an inappropriate match and promptly creates drama. The adult children flounder, and then they flourish.
I love the beautiful ending, the redemption, the righting of wrongs, the forgiveness, and the refinding of love.

I stopped reading "women's fiction" years ago because the books were basically variations on the same themes and character. I needed something to read to pass some time during travel and this book was available for download to my Kindle. I don't have enough adjectives to describe how bad this book is: cloying, implausible, trite, shallow. It is like a Hallmark movie. I only give this 2 stars instead of 1 because the author is a fair enough writer. But she wastes her talents on this rubbish.

2.5/5
This is the first book I have read by this author. The premise of this novel sounded like it would be a good read. I wasn't that invested in the story or the characters and I didn't find any of the characters to be even a bit likeable, which in a thriller genre read isn't an issue for me, but this felt like a very character driven/focused book and, therefore, I thought that at least some of the characters would come across as likeable from a readers perspective.
I felt the writing was a bit disjointed and didn't flow that well for me. There was quite a rather large section in the middle that didn't feel like it added much at all to the story. Some parts I felt like I was skim reading because it didn't feel integral to the story for me.
Overall, I feel like the book could have been shorter as there was a significant portion of the book which didn't add anything of value to the plot or didn't move the story forward in a meaningful way.
I am glad I borrowed a copy from the library. There was one point where I was like maybe should dnf this book, but I carried on.

Perhaps because my husband was 19 years older than me, this novel about a family patriarch falling for a much younger woman really spoke to me --and then I gave it to my daughter to read, since she's the one with a dad who likes much younger women. Even if these circumstances do not apply to you, though, this is an affecting family drama with finely drawn characters with believable motivations. Another good novel by Mitchard.
January 20, 2024
I've read books by this author, but this wasn't what I was expecting from her. She hasn't written in a while and I was looking forward to reading a book by her, but this story is kind of weird. I know she lives in the east now, and wonder if she was writing about people who she has come to know.
September 11, 2024
Just the oddest book. Didn’t like any of it. Feel bad but can’t say anything positive about it

A Very Inconvenient Scandal by Jacqueline Mitchard. Thanks to @mirabooks and @htpbooks for the gifted Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Frankie returns home with big news of marriage and a pregnancy. Her father has his own news. He’s marrying her best friend; who is also pregnant.
Full of unlikeable characters and lots of drama, but it took me sometime to get into this one. The pacing was a little slow but it did pick up and some twists. I liked how you were never really sure where it was going.
A Very Inconvenient Scandal comes out 11/14.

Weird syntax, strange relationships between characters and meandering plot made for a not so enjoyable read. I do not recommend this one
July 29, 2024
This is so different from what I usually read. A mystery full of family drama, really interesting characters, complicated relationships, and wildlife conservation??
I really liked this one. It was messy and nobody was really likeable, but the writing was so descriptive and the characters were so multifaceted. The way conservation and wildlife photography sort of held the family together and kept bringing them back was such an interesting dynamic to me. I could NOT stop listening!
Full disclosure, the pacing was super weird and there is a LOT going on, but ai really enjoyed myself!
**The audiobook narration was really good!

A book with many twists and turns! Frankie Attleboro returns home to Cape Cod to impart some exciting news. She has found true love and is pregnant only to find out that her best friend Ariel and her widowed father Mack are also expecting a baby and planning on getting married. There are many people who turn out to be not as you expect them to be. There are secrets and hunts for extinct birds. This was an enjoyable book to read.
