Synopsis
New York Times–Bestselling Author: &“Emotional depth is seared into every page along with wry banter, bringing readers to tears and smiles.&” —Library Journal (starred review) Ainsley O&’Leary is so ready to get married—she&’s even found the engagement ring her boyfriend has stashed away. What she doesn&’t anticipate, after eleven years together during which she nursed him through cancer, is being blindsided by a breakup that he chronicles in a blog . . . which (of course) goes viral. Devastated and humiliated, Ainsley moves in with her older half sister, Kate, who&’s struggling with a sudden loss of her own in upstate New York. Kate&’s always been the poised, self-assured sister, but becoming a newlywed—and a widow—in the space of four months overwhelms her. Though the sisters were never close, she starts to confide in Ainsley, especially when she learns her late husband was keeping a secret from her. Despite the murky blended-family dynamic that&’s always separated them, Ainsley&’s and Kate&’s heartaches will bind their summer together as they come to terms with the inevitable imperfection of relationships and family—and the possibility of one day finding love again . . . . &“Higgins&’s page-turner highlights both the complexity of family relationships and the intense power of love.&” —Publishers Weekly &“A captivating read about two sisters dealing with love, loss and new beginnings. What sets this book apart is how one event changes both women&’s lives. Kate is refreshingly frank in her inner monologue, and Ainsley is charmingly self-aware and wry.&” —RT Book Reviews, 5 stars (Top Pick) &“Higgins&’ complex, witty characters will seem like close friends, and readers will savor each and every page . . . [Higgins is a] women&’s-fiction star.&” —Booklist (starred review)
