Someone's Gotta Give cover

The author of My What If Year is back with a fun, witty debut novel that takes you inside the world of extreme wealth and charitable giving. Lucia thought she had it all figured out—until life in London as a new mom and expat turned everything upside down. She is just barely holding it together when she unexpectedly lands a glamorous job as a philanthropic advisor to the richest of the rich. But is the world of the über-wealthy everything it’s cracked up to be? At work, she’s rubbing elbows with royals and taking champagne-fueled meetings with heirs to the next generation of wealth; at home, her teething one-year-old is up at all hours of the night, and her husband’s growing connection to his ex-girlfriend is making her question her marriage. Something’s gotta give in this relatable and heartwarming dramedy about a woman caught between her career ambitions, her family’s needs, and the person she is becoming. Can Lucia rediscover herself before it all falls apart? And can she make a difference in the world while she’s at it?

“A fast-paced, heartfelt, funny exploration of the juggling act of motherhood—with entertaining forays into the world of upper echelon Brits, including royalty and, of course, Colin Firth—told with an honesty that will be instantly relatable to fellow jugglers. If you, too, haven't had one too many drinks, woken up to a cherubic toddler demanding your attention, and realized you're late for a work meeting, you can't sit with us.” —Sophie Brickman, author of Plays Well with Others “Amidst the fabulous cast of characters in Someone’s Gotta Give, down-to-earth Lucia takes center stage as she navigates expat and mom-life in between the odd event at Buckingham Palace. Full of heart and humor, Alisha Fernandez Miranda shines a vivid and entertaining light on the world of charitable giving, the super-rich, and what they do with their money when they’re feeling generous.” —Jane Costello, author of It’s Getting Hot in Here “Someone’s Gotta Give is an absolute delight—a sharp, funny, and heartfelt exploration of identity, purpose, and the many hats we wear (sometimes all at once). With wit and warmth, Alisha Fernandez Miranda reminds us that finding balance is a journey worth taking. This book will make you laugh, think, and cheer. A must-read for anyone searching for their place in the world.” —Gloria Calderón Kellett, award-winning television writer and producer of With Love and One Day at a Time
