The only thing better than one loveable, dysfunctional main character is five of them. This book is whacky, unhinged, and brilliantly nuts. It’s laugh out loud funny. I basically sat reading it with a permanent smug smile across my face. Perfect for readers who loved chaotic family vibes in The Bee Sting, the humour of Greta & Valdin, and the absurdity of Sky Daddy.
On paper, the Flynn family looks somewhat ‘traditional’ – two parents, a stay at home mum, a breadwinner accountant dad, and three daughters. In reality? Bud and Catherine decide to open up their marriage, and everything begins to unravel.
Each daughter is gloriously her own character. Abigail is dating an older man suspiciously nicknamed War Crimes Wes. Louise is being groomed online by a terrorist. And Harper is frighteningly smart, although everyone just thinks she’s paranoid, but when she starts digging into a billionaire surrounded by whispers of corruption, we head down a whole new rabbit hole.
To fully enjoy Lost Lambs, you have to lean into the madness, embrace the ride, and resist taking anything too seriously. If you can do that, there is so much to love here.
I already know I’ll be recommending this to anyone who will listen, and I will read anything Madeleine Cash writes from here on out.
