Isabelle Poole is pregnant and on her own, the baby’s father—her high school art teacher—out of the picture. Not sure where to turn, Izzy joins The Infinite Family Project, an experiment in child and family development led by the awkwardly charming child psychiatrist Preston Grind. Funded by an eccentric billionaire, the project is an attempt to create a “perfect little world,” bringing together ten different families as a single family unit in order to raise exceptional children. All starts well, with Izzy and her son thriving in their new surroundings, but soon the equilibrium among the families begins to disintegrate and things fall apart. As her growing feelings for Dr. Grind further complicate the adventure in experimental living, Izzy ultimately must decide what truly matters when it comes to family.

Kevin Wilson’s New York Times bestselling debut novel The Family Fang was enthusiastically embraced by readers and critics, who called it “irresistible” (Time), “breathtakingly wonderful” (Miami Herald), “inventive and hilarious” (Wall Street Journal), and “a minty fresh delight” (NPR). Perfect Little World is Wilson’s much-anticipated new novel—another offbeat look at the meaning of family, and a strange utopian experiment that could redefine what family means.
