everyone hates kirby's mom . a former receptionist at town hall , bored with everything and everyone , she would spend her down time ( which was a lot because it wasn't like she was particularly interested in ya know … watching her only kid ) writing a scathing novel that would go on to be a new york times bestseller , sinclaire sloane . problem was , it was fully based on her red creek neighbors . loose depictions of those around her made it into the book and her exposing their worst traits to the rest of the country made her public enemy number one in their book . she didn't care , however , as she quickly took to literary stardom like a house on fire .
while she went on her book tour , kirby was left with her dad , who had long since divorced sinclaire and was living as just another regular citizen . he worked all day as a plumber and spent his nights in front of the tv , watching sitcoms and drinking beers . kirby was left on her own , for the most part . she liked it better that way anyways .
the book always hung over kirby's head , forcing her to look at the town differently . once the first book's hype died down , sinclair moved onto other dramas in other small towns , while kirby actively did everything to separate herself from her mother's legacy .
her childhood was pretty lonely , she learned to take care of herself quite well so by the time she was in middle school , she was mostly self sufficient . she washed her own clothes , cooked her own food , signed her own permission slips , biked to and from school until she turned sixteen and taught herself how to drive by taking her dad's car out on the road late at night . then , she just drove her mom's long abandoned vw cabrio whenever she needed .
when she got into college and left town to move to california , where she attended ucla and studied history , kirby finally livened up a bit . she partied with her newfound friends , went to the beach as often as possible , and felt like she was actually living for the first time ever , even getting herself a best friend . she even dyed her hair blonde !
six years later , a tragedy struck kirby ( it's her secret shhhh ) and she came running back to red creek . it was the only other place she knew to go . her dad had moved away six months prior and her mom was doing some fuck ass podcast and she needed somewhere to be so kirby settled in a tiny apartment above a store in town , getting a job at the video store and trying to convince herself that it would only be temporary - that was two years ago .
now she's floating , waiting for something - anything - to happen .
