And his half sister, Eloise, who lives in England, has just sent out ridiculously expensive invitations to her wedding-she must have spent nearly five grand, as he and his other sister, Alice, determine in the phone conversation that opens the book. At home, his smug, controlling boyfriend wants to start inviting strangers into their bed for three-way sex. He has a job at a clinic where he helps people face their compulsions-for example, forcing a germophobic client who could have “been plucked from a year-old Talbots catalog” to stand in trash cans full of rotting food and maxipads. Paul is a cranky gay guy, and he has a lot to be cranky about, really. An extravagant wedding is threatened by equally lavish family tensions.
