People person / Candice Carty-Williams.

Summary:

If you could choose your family...you wouldn't choose the Penningtons. One father. Four mothers. Five children. The author of the "brazenly hilarious, tell-it-like-it-is first novel" (Oprah Daily) Queenie, named Book of the Year by the British Book Awards, returns with another witty and insightful novel about the power of family--even when they seem like strangers. Dimple Pennington knows of her half siblings--Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie, and Prynce--but she doesn't really know them. They're five people who don't have anything in common except disappointment, faint memories of being driven through Brixton in their dad's gold Jeep, and some pretty complex abandonment issues. Besides, Dimple has bigger things to think about. She's thirty, and her life isn't really going anywhere. An aspiring lifestyle influencer with a terrible and wayward boyfriend, Dimple's world has shrunk to the size of a phone screen. And despite a small but loyal following, she's never felt more alone in her life. That is, until a dramatic event brings her half siblings crashing back into her life. When they're all forced to reconnect with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things get even more complicated. From an author with "a flair for storytelling that appears effortlessly authentic" (Time), People Person is a vibrant and charming celebration of discovering family as an adult. -- From dust jacket.
