Nostalgia, Nuisances, and Necessary Niceties

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Annie Jordan's new lease on life has taken a turn. With a new brother on the scene—one that everyone she knows is practically accusing of being a criminal element—she's also found herself with a new roommate. It goes without saying that Bogart's not happy about the roommate sitch. Of course, neither is Sam, and especially not Melanie.

But hey, she's got Mildred, and it seems she's the only one who doesn't hate Annie's newly found brother.

Prompted by curiosity—it killed the cat, right? Not humans?—Annie and Tyler submit their saliva for some DNA testing. They have questions. They want to know more about their father.

They don't exactly get the results they thought they'd get. In fact, the tests seem to have opened up a whole new can of worms. So much for nostalgia. Now, nuisances are becoming something akin to threats.
