Nobody knows the humour and pathos of complicated family relationships better than K.J. Dell’Antonia, which is why this story about sisters and fried chicken and reality TV is such a satisfying read. It’s like the comfort-food of novels: warm, memorable, and wholly original. I loved it * Laura Zigman, author of SEPARATION ANXIETY *Dell’Antonia writes convincingly and sympathetically about complicated family relationships, giving Mae and Amanda each relatable flaws. The Food Wars scenes are a fun peek behind the curtain of the reality TV world, and the small-town warmth of Merinac is comfortingly quirky. A charming and satisfying story about family bonds that will make meat eaters everywhere crave fried chicken. * Kirkus *A really funny, touching, sweet book… if you have family dynamics that remind you of this you’re probably going to love this book. A charming, hilarious, feel-good story about the kind of bonds & rivalries only sisters can share. * Reese Witherspoon *
