"A beautifully entertaining, funny, and engaging novel about a thoroughly modern family, sisterhood, second chances and forgiveness."
An absolute reading riot, this is punchy, witty, provocative and I loved it. After the years of silence that followed Verity stealing her twin sister Isabel’s husband, the two come together to rescue their missing mother. I adore Kathy Lette’s novels, she is capable of delivering stinging slices of humour alongside thoughtful compassion. I love how easy to read her books are, they suck you in whole allowing you to decompress and have a lot of fun along the way. Feminism and sisterhood often feature, all with a loving hug and occasional elbow in the ribs. The characters feel authentic and as though you already know them. While the relationship between Izzy and Verity sits centre stage in The Sisterhood Rules, there are a whole host of fascinating people to meet, a lot of whom feature in the wider family. We are introduced to three generations, and while much of the humour sits within the scenario of the missing mother, there are also some interesting thoughts to be pondered along the way. Strength, resilience, forgiveness, and empathy can be found in this story, I love how the plot spins you onto a rollercoaster of emotions. The Sisterhood Rules is full of attitude and hugely entertaining yet thoughtful and engaging, and it comes as highly recommended by our LoveReading team.

1. Never let a man come between you
2. Share all your secrets
3. Live life to the fullest - girls just wanna have fun
For twin sisters Isabel and Verity, the sisterhood rules were shattered when Verity had an affair with Izzy's husband. Unforgivable, right? Devastated by her sister's betrayal, Izzy casts Verity into social Siberia.
But when their mother goes missing, Verity and Izzy are forced to come together again to find her. And then the estranged sisters' problems only get bigger. Their mother has a new younger lover and where there's a will… he'd clearly like to be in it.
Can they stop their mother making a dreadful mistake? And in doing so find a way to bury the pain of the past?
Full of laugh-out-loud humour and devastating pathos, Kathy Lette's brilliant new novel takes us on a roller-coaster ride which proves that from pain comes healing, from honesty comes forgiveness, and that nothing is more important than your sisters.
