About MARK 21

From the publisher's feed

Three women walk into a bar. Two sisters and their friend. The bartender asks for their drink order. One sister places a hand to her ear, raises the other in the air and belts out “Henny & Apple Juice”. The Friend asks the bartender for a menu, while the other sister, rolling her eyes at both of them, asks for a vodka cranberry with Redbull.
