Confessions of the Other Sister

A Novel

2 of 3 copies available

Beth Harbison, New York Times bestselling author of The Cookbook Club, has written her strongest novel yet: a story filled with humor, heart and a little bit of snark. This unforgettable story about two very different sisters who must come together and face their past if they can make their future better is perfect for fans of Jennifer Weiner, Sophia Kinsella, and Christina Lauren.

They were two sisters with nothing in common but their parents.

Frances Turner has a confession to make: her sister, Crosby, who has built her life on good luck and good looks, drives her crazy. The woman wakes up in the morning with perfect hair. Men flock to her. And she somehow managed to jump out of the frying pan and into fame, writing a blockbuster novel—and making a zillion bucks—without even trying. And Frances, who has followed every rule, is stuck in pause.

Crosby Turner has a confession as well: Frances locks herself in a miserable little box and Crosby can't understand it. With her fear of the unknown and her "Franic Attacks," her sister is a small-time actress with big-time dreams—and talent—but playing by the rules gets her nowhere. Heck, the closest Frannie gets to famous is as a caterer to the stars. Why can't she break loose and climb out of her rut?

Then fate intervenes, throwing these incompatible siblings together in this sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking novel of sisterhood, grown-ups who need to grow up, and the realization that no one in a family is invisible.

      Sisters Frances and Crosby grew up Hollywood-adjacent, but never felt like they had to follow in their father's musically inclined footsteps. Frances, who made a comfortable living as a private chef, can't seem to shake the acting bug. Crosby found a measure of fame after her first novel was a surprise hit, but now faces a severe case of writer's block. They decide to live together in L.A. in the hopes of stretching their meager savings a bit farther, and are surprised to find that new opportunities seem just within reach--but they'll have to put aside decades of perceived sisterly slights and communication differences to reach their respective goals. In the vein of Sophie Kinsella's The Gatecrasher, Jen Lancaster's Twisted Sisters (2014), and Ellen Meister's Love Sold Separately (2020), Harbison's (The Cookbook Club, 2020) latest is infused with wit, charm, and plenty of pop culture references. Allowing each sister to air her own perspective, secrets, or bias to the events at hand in alternating chapters, Harbison explores the precise blend of love, rage, and protection unique to siblings--even the grown ones who seem to have their lives together.
