What if you suddenly became famous for the worst performance of your life? The head of an elite girls’ school sees her polished life unravel when her cult-movie past is revealed in this funny, hopeful novel about second chances.
Magnolia Wade has become famous overnight—all because of a smashing failure she thought she’d buried. Twenty-one years ago, she starred as a blue alien princess in Alien Storm, a spectacularly bad sci-fi flop.
Now she’s Dr. Maggie Wade, the respected head of an elite girls’ school in Washington, DC, when Alien Storm unexpectedly emerges as a global cult sensation.
Fans in cosplay descend on campus, reporters come calling, and school board complaints quickly escalate. Worse yet, Maggie’s teenage daughter, Rose, adores the film and feels betrayed that Maggie hid the movie even from her. But for Maggie, Alien Storm is tied to painful, hidden chapters of her life with her costar, now-famous director Rob Carraway, locked tightly in the center.
With her career on the line, but desperate to repair her relationship with her daughter, Maggie agrees to join the film’s reunion tour—if she can bring Rose.
As they embark on a chaotic journey of friendship, fandoms, and second chances, Maggie must confront the best and worst of her past—every devastating, heartbreaking, glorious piece of it.

批評家のレビュー
“Joani Elliott’s new novel The Best Worst Life of Magnolia Wade is a quirky, funny story with plenty of offbeat characters and hilarious banter. At the heart of it is Maggie Wade, a woman who thinks she at last has got her life together now that she’s been hired as a school administrator at a prestigious girls’ school. But when she’s exposed as the star of a campy, over-the-top film she made twenty years ago that has become a cult favorite, the school wants to fire her. Maggie has to figure out where her heart really lies, and how she might weave the past and present together to become authentically herself and set an example for her teenage daughter and her students. I loved this engaging, wise book about a woman navigating a complex life.” —Maddie Dawson, bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners
