Garden of Earthly Delights

A secret society, a family scandal, and a mysterious vandal

Ani Abrams wants nothing more than to escape Garden City, a town founded as a haven for women, run by women. Ani dreams of journalism school and boys. She’d rather spend her summer falling for Nick Lake, the cute barista at Beanie Babes, and hanging out with Johnny, her drama queen BFF, than serving pastrami at her stepmother Evelyn’s Jewish deli and getting caught up in small-town politics.

But when someone begins vandalizing Garden City with misogynistic hate speech, Ani quickly gets pulled into the hunt for the "Vag Vandal" and finds that leaving Garden City may not be as easy as she’d planned. During her search for the Vandal, Ani soon discovers a very secret and very naked society of businesswomen that threatens to ruin the town—and Ani’s future.

Ani’s investigation quickly turns personal as she unearths more questions than answers. Why is the Vandal suddenly singling her out? Could her own stepmother be involved in the attacks? And most importantly, does a stakeout with Nick Lake count as a date?
