Crazy. Stupid. Rich.


When a neurotic statistics geek gets invited to his twenty-five-year high school reunion, he spends his life savings remaking his identity to wow his old classmates. Only one tiny problem: his new persona gets him mistaken for a drug kingpin and sends him running for his life with the very people who used to make it miserable. 
 
Santa Ana is an absurdly hilarious, irreverent, and magical tale about the masks we wear . . . and those strange California winds that blow them all asunder.

Reviews

"Santa Ana by Addison J. Chapple and Rachael Flanery is a deeply immersing, humorous tale about a man's nightmarish high school reunion party and his search for acceptance and love . . . [The authors] are masterful storytellers. Though the story is rife with humor and chaos, it also brings the reader's attention to a profound societal issue: how harmful expectations drive people to wear masks and make unhealthy choices in our extremely materialistic world. Ultimately, Santa Ana is a must-read for fans of dark, hilarious tales and readers who seek a story with a fresh, unique feel. It leaves you hungry for more of its sensational literary servings!" Readers' Favorite
"The California setting is vivid, and the story is zany, entertaining, and full of dark humor. I loved the bizarre twist on high school nostalgia." Bossy Bookworm
