"Hilarious, suspenseful, and whip smart."
—Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney

"...Jones does an outstanding job of matching the tonal changes in this audiobook."- AudioFile on Let's Not Do That Again

From Grant Ginder, the author of The People We Hate at the Wedding, comes Let's Not Do That Again a poignant, funny, and slyly beguiling novel which proves that, like democracy, family is a messy and fragile thing —perfect for fans of Veep’s biting humor, the family drama of Succession, and the joys of Kevin Wilson’s Nothing to See Here.

Nancy Harrison is running for Senate, and she’s going to win, goddamnit. Not that that’s her slogan, although it could be. She’s said all the right things. Passed all the right legislation. Chapped her lips kissing babies. There’s just one problem: her grown children.

Greta and Nick Harrison are adrift. Nick is floundering in his attempts to write a musical about the life of Joan Didion (called Hello to All That!). And then there’s his little sister Greta. Smart, pretty, and completely unmotivated, allowing her life to pass her by like the shoppers at the Apple store where she works.

One morning the world wakes up not to Nancy making headlines, but her daughter, Greta. She’s in Paris. With extremist protestors. Throwing a bottle of champagne through a beloved bistro’s front window. In order to save her campaign, not to mention her daughter, Nancy and Nick must find Greta before it’s too late.

Goodreads review by Chris on April 27, 2022

"Let's Not Do That Again" is a treasure: cold-blooded in its humor, warm-hearted in its faith in its characters. I loved it. Grant Ginder has written a gem of a novel that is hilarious when it is skewering politics and heartfelt when it is examining what it means to be a parent -- and, yes, a grown......more

Goodreads review by Michael on March 29, 2022

"Let's Not Do That Again" begins as Nancy Harrison's senate campaign is dealt a scandalous blow when the media runs footage of her daughter Greta smashing windows during a riot in Paris. We find out that Greta has been seduced by Xavier, a swarmy neo-nazi French Casanova bent on making a political s......more
