From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Family Fang - a warm-hearted and moving story about a young woman making a family on her own terms.
Perfect Little World is an unforgettable exploration of what it means to be family from New York Times bestselling author, Kevin Wilson.

Aren´t the best families the ones we make for ourselves?

Isabelle Pool is fresh out of high school, pregnant with her art teacher´s baby, and totally on her own. Izzy knows she can be a good mother but without any money or family to fall back on, she´s left searching.

So when she´s offered a space in The Infinite Family Project - a utopian ideal funded by an eccentric billionaire - she accepts. Isabelle joins nine other couples, all with children the same age as her newborn son, to raise their children as one extended family in a spacious, secluded compound in Tennessee. But can this experiment really work - or is their ´perfect little world´ destined to go horribly wrong?
Like an animated Edward Gorey cartoon, with a more realistic contemporary setting and a warmer, lighter touch ... Wilson pulls off his sweet-and-tart tone with a soupcon of unexpected spice. Washington Post
