Henry's Sisters

This is a story about a family that's fallen apart and ends up being put back together again. It's about a Queen Anne house, a bakery, a motorcycle, an amusing divorce, burning bras, a crime writer, love, fear, giant cupcakes, a lost father, and a disastrous childhood partially spent living in a car.

Did not enjoy this one. A coworker pulled it off the shelf and raved about it so I gave it a try but goodness. It was a bit graphic and very... unhealthy. Just. Okay. If you pick it up; you'll know by the first line whether or not this is your type of book. Just trust me. If you sigh at the first line you won't stop sighing. If you think it's weird put the book down. If it makes you uncomfortable run for the hills. It will not get better. Save yourself. Also do yourself a favor and check for a list of trigger warnings if you have literally any. It's probably almost the length of the book.

Curl up with Cathy Lamb, an author you will come to cherish, as she makes you laugh, cry and reach for the chocolate... Ever since the Bommarito sisters were little girls their mother has written them a letter on pink paper when she has something especially important to tell them. And this time, the message is urgent and impossible to ignore, she requires open heart surgery, and Isabelle and her sisters are needed at home to run the family bakery and to take care of their brother, Henry, and ailing grandmother. Poignant, funny, and as irresistible as one of the Bommarito Bakery's delicious giant cupcakes, Henry's Sisters is a novel about family and forgiveness, about mothers and daughters, and about gaining the wisdom to look ahead while still holding tight to everything that matters most.
