The drama, hilarity and tears of sisterhood are at the heart of the thoroughly captivating new novel by New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins-a funny, frank and bittersweet look at marriage, forgiveness and moving on Letting go of her ex-husband is harder than wedding-dress designer Jenny Tate expected.especially since his new wife wants to be Jenny's new best friend. Sensing this isn't exactly helping her achieve closure, Jenny trades the Manhattan skyline for her hometown up the Hudson, where she'll start her own business and bask in her sister Rachel's picture-perfect family life.and maybe even find a little romance of her own with Leo, her downstairs neighbor, a guy who's utterly irresistible and annoyingly distant at the same time. Rachel's idyllic marriage, however, is imploding after she discovers her husband sexting with a colleague. She always thought she'd walk away in this situation, but her triplet daughters have her reconsidering her stance on adultery, much to Jenny's surprise. Rachel points to their parents' perfect marriage as a shining example of patience and forgiveness; but to protect her sister, Jenny may have to tarnish that memory-and their relationship—and reveal a family secret she's been keeping since childhood. Both Rachel and Jenny will have to come to terms with the past and the present and find a way to get what they want most of all.

      Jenny Tate is a New York wedding gown designer who is so amicably divorced from a decent, kind man that she's still friends with him and his beautiful new wife. But after she delivers the couple's first child at their baby shower, Jenny realizes that she's doomed to watch what was to be her fairy-tale life unfold before her unless she makes some changes. So Jenny moves back to her hometown to be closer to her sister, Rachel, and triplet nieces. When Rachel discovers a titillating text message on her husband's phone, he denies any wrongdoing, but Rachel's intuition compels her to discover the truth. Meanwhile, Jenny is in a new relationship with a man who has a dark past and has declared himself "for recreation only." She must decide if she can risk her heart again. Xe Sands as Jenny has the perfect funny, light, melancholy, and snarky tones for everything going on in Jenny's life. Amy Rubinate's Rachel comes across as a bit robotic, though that's in keeping with the character's desire for everything to be perfect. VERDICT Recommended for fans of the author and women's fiction with a focus on sibling relationships. ["Witty characters who find, and sometimes lose, love will keep readers glued to [Higgins's] books": LJ 8/15 starred review of the HQN hc. See a Q&A with Higgins, Sands, and Rubinate, p. 60.--Ed.]--Laure Brosie, Wentzville, MO
