From the back cover

Found after eighteen years, Kendall Shaw returns to the Shaw Estate, where her birth mother Penelope clings to Brooke, the girl who has occupied her place. A System in Kendall's mind demands she flip tables, curse the favoritism and fight for affection, but Kendall answers every provocation with cold, economic calm, calling blood a statistical accident and attachment a sunk cost.

Her ex-fiancé Preston throws a check at her and tells her to disappear; she pockets it as a severance package.

Assigned a cramped guest room while Brooke keeps two, Kendall asks only for the Wi-Fi password.

As the System begs for one small meltdown, Kendall sits through a dinner of peeled shrimp and spare ribs, counting her two hundred dollars and refusing to pay for anything she breaks.
