Henley is 44, unemployed, three times divorced and desperate to become a mother. Back in her childhood home in suburban Detroit, she stumbles into unlikely success online when her provocative noodle-eating videos go viral, bringing her the money she needs to adopt a baby. And exactly the kind of attention that could make it impossible.
Ferris, Henley's younger sister, has done everything right: She's an oncologist with a successful husband and the life their mother always wanted for her. But after years of grueling, unsuccessful fertility treatments, one decision sends her marriage into freefall - and Ferris home to Mama, too.
Despite having grown apart since their childhood, when a long-buried family secret surfaces, the sisters must come to terms with the complicated truth of their shared history and what it means for their family's future.
Irrepressibly funny, tender, and alive, Unwanted Attention is a wholly original novel about failure and reinvention, mothers and daughters, cultural inheritance, and the people who drive us crazy because they know us best.

Nania Lee navigates the lingering regrets and messy absurdities of middle age with terrific precision and wit. Unwanted Attention is a sharp, wry yet tender tribute to how we survive our families, and how we love them
Genuinely subversive... about sisterhood, motherhood, and womanhood. Henley and Ferris, sisters, seem like polar opposites. While Henley is chaotic, uninhibited, financially unstable, and ironically eager to become a mother, Ferris is disciplined, wealthy, married, and outwardly the perfect candidate for motherhood... One of the great pleasures of Unwanted Attention is simply how funny and enjoyable it is... a surprisingly tender and big-hearted novel about two sisters discovering that there may be no correct way to be a woman, build a family, or make a meaningful life
A funny yet tender exploration of two very different sisters, each with their own set of expectations. Lee writes her characters' interior worlds with deep affection and thought... sharp and insightful
