Title: Shredded Sisters
Author: Betsy Lerner
Published: October 4, 2024
Book Club Date: Wednesday, March 19
Time: 5:30pm
Selected by: Abby McCall

Abby writes, “This is a debut novel by NY editor Betsy Lerner, who has written many nonfiction including about writing and several memoirs as well.. But her first foray into fiction is about a dysfunctional family where one sister steals the other’s thunder simply by being the “crazy one”. I’ve only heard good things from readers of this moving story; and novels about families, and how they interact as a whole, have always fascinated me. I’m reminded of the famous Tolstoy quote from Anna Karenina, “All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

Here’s what Goodreads has to say about it:
Spanning two decades, Shred Sisters is an intimate and bittersweet story exploring the fierce complexities of sisterhood, mental health, loss and love. If anything is true it’s what Amy learns on her road to self-acceptance: No one will love you or hurt you more than a sister.
