When a rich man you never knew dies and his opulent apartment is left to you, youd think it was the answer to your dreams. But perhaps it is the start of a living nightmarea sharp, intelligent and dark tale from the creator of hit series SMASH.
Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Or is it

Tina Finn was standing at the edge of her mother's newly-dug grave when she first heard about her inheritance. Until this moment she'd been scraping by, living from one pay cheque to the next. But all that was about to change

Now she's the proud owner of a huge luxury apartment overlooking Central Park. Things couldn't get much better, right Wrong. Her half brothers, left out of the inheritance, think that she has no right to the apartment and they want her out - by any means necessary.

So that's how Tina went from standing on the edge of her mother's grave to squatting in a twelve room apartment in the centre of New York. Now she has it all, is she prepared to fight to the end to keep it

Three Girls and their Brother is a brilliant fiction debut. Rebeck weaves such an atmosphere of excitement and turmoil. I felt genuinely close to these characters all three sisters and their brother. The insiders look at the life of young models and the way instant success can upend everything resonates in hilarious and heart-breaking ways. I found it impossible to put this book down.
