Christa Comes Out of Her Shell by Abbi Waxman
3.75
Love Abbi Waxman! This was such a fun and quirky romcom/family drama.
Meet the Liddles. A family made famous ala Steve Irwin style with a conservationist showman dad whose show and subsequent merch/toys are beloved by the masses.
And then the patriarch Jasper goes missing. His plane crashes in Alaska and he was gone in an instant. No body found. All the Liddles had to move on - except the littlest Liddle Christabel was thrust into the spotlight and when it was too much, she fled.
Now, 25 years later Christa receives the call no one ever expects while she is living and researching sea snails on the remotest of remote islands. Her father has been found and he’s alive and going on Oprah?! Where has he been this whole time? What does this mean for the whole family? And most importantly, is Christa going to lose it again?
