A smart, sharp, absolutely-can’t-put-it-down read.On this episode, we're excited to bring you Zakiya Dalila Harris in conversation with Kellye Garrett.
But now she has to step inside her sister’s world, and back into her own past, in a dangerous pursuit of the truth.Ĭaptivating from beginning to end, Like A Sister takes you to unexpected places, not only with its many twists and surprises, but with its deeper look at the complex bonds within family, and the elusive nature of truth and memory. Unlike Desiree, Lena had forged a path far from the spotlight. Lena’s voice is smart and witty, delivering sharp insights on race, class, and social media fame, alongside her search for justice. She believes her sister was coming to see her and is certain Desiree’s death was no accident. Though the police are quick to rule her sibling’s death an overdose, Lena knows there’s something wrong with their story. The mystery kicks off on the very first page when Lena Scott learns that her estranged half-sister Desiree has been found dead at a park in the Bronx. And that was exactly my experience cracking open Kellye Garrett’s Like a Sister, a tense, twisting thriller that had me hooked from the opening sentence, and kept me turning pages deep into the night. Or the feeling when you have to read just one more chapter before bed, and suddenly you’ve devoured the entire book in a single weekend. As a reader, there’s nothing quite like an opening that makes you sit up and take notice.
