This was a good Thanksgiving read filled with lots of sibling drama and heartache. It's heavy, but it's short. This could easily be read in one sitting. Three sisters come back home to share a Thanksgiving with their elderly parents. Things have been uneasy in the years since their brother ended his life. There is a lot or hurt and resentment and rather than face it, each of the sisters (and their parents) have pushed down the grief and dealt with is in pretty unhelpful ways. Freshly divorced, Cait is flying in from London with her twins and she has some secrets that she doesn't know how to deal with. Maggie is bringing her girlfriend home for the first time much to the dismay of her staunchly Irish Catholic mother. Alice is feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated. As the one who lives closest to her parents she helps take care of them and her two boys and all she wants is to be seen and get a chance to do something she wants for once. Reunited for the first time in years, this family is about to have a Thanksgiving they will never forget.
