Description

Meet Мелоди Плам. She was sixteen when her father decided to found the trust fund “The Nest.” The funds in the account won’t be available until Мелоди turns forty. And it would all be fine, except Мелоди has a disappointing brother Лео, who is easily tempted by women’s forms, a brother Джек who awkwardly hides the fact that he needs money, and a sister Беатрис who dreams of writing a great novel. As for Мелоди herself—her head is spinning. A mortgage for buying a house, a soft-hearted husband, and the kids will soon be going to college. Мелоди really wants her family not to fight, but in a month she’ll turn forty. It will be so funny and exciting that in the end it will become unforgettable—because it will stay with you forever.
