Dua’s Monthly Read for August 2026
“Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash is possibly the most hyped novel of 2026. Read it and you’ll know why.
“The story follows the unravelling of the Flynn family. Parents Catherine and Bud decide to open up their marriage. Catherine is day-drinking while Bud is coasting through his deadbeat job at Alabaster Harbor. Their three daughters – Abigail, Louise and Harper – rebel and scream for attention in their own spectacular ways.
“It’s got everything: a dysfunctional family, a bloodthirsty billionaire, conspiracy theories, online radicalisation, an infestation of gnats and, at its heart, a search for identity and meaning.
“Madeline writes at full volume – reading Lost Lambs can feel like scrolling an overstimulating social feed. But she keeps sight of the tenderness at the heart of the Flynn family and, hidden among the drama, is a lot of truth about connection and why it matters.
“It’s funny, fast and intoxicating. Believe the hype.” – Dua Lipa
