About the book
The Flynn family, in a small coastal town, is coming apart. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has hit its breaking point, and their three daughters are spinning off on their own: Abigail is seeing a man in his twenties known as War Crime Wes, Louise writes in secret to an online terrorist, and the gifted youngest, Harper, is packed off to a wilderness reform camp for insisting someone or something is watching the townspeople. Over everything looms Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate dogged by rumors of corruption. Madeline Cash's 2026 debut novel moves among the voices of the family and the town, and was a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Discover Prize.
Dua Lipa picked it for her Service95 Book Club, calling it funny, fast and intoxicating, saying the author never loses sight of the tenderness at the center of the Flynn family.

Madeline writes at full volume – reading Lost Lambs can feel like scrolling an overstimulating social feed. But she keeps sight of the tenderness at the heart of the Flynn family and, hidden among the drama, is a lot of truth about connection and why it matters. It’s funny, fast and intoxicating. Believe the hype.
