The weight of their family secrets could not have shaped Pearl and Ruby Crenshaw any differently. Ruby's a runner, living in Dallas and only reluctantly talking to their mother, Birdie, when she calls from prison. Pearl is still living in her mother's fixer-upper and finds herself facing a line in the sand: her weight is threatening to kill her. And unless she takes drastic action, the future looks dire. But when Ruby's buried rage explodes in a hilariously viral way, the mistake has life-altering consequences.

Beautiful, poignant, uplifting debut!

You know that feeling when a book is so good you don't want to say goodbye to the characters when it ends? That's how I felt about The Sisters We Were and siblings Pearl and Ruby. Baldwin deftly takes on a major health issue few authors embrace but does so without that major topic defining the characters. On the contrary, Pearl and Ruby come across as authentic, genuine people with rich and complicated inner lives who also happen to be going on a life-changing wellness journey together. The sibling relationship is 100% believable and relatable and you'll be cheering for them as you'd cheer for your own good friends or family members. Campbell does a fabulous job narrating (which can be tricky with southern accents), making the audiobook a treat. Thoroughly enjoyed this gem of a debut! Hoping there will be many more titles from this author!

If it’s navel-gazing you’re after, you’ve come to the wrong place; ditto treacly self-examination. Rather, his observations turn outward: a fight between two men on a bus, a fight between two men on the street, pedestrians being whacked over the head or gathering to watch as a man considers leaping to his death. There’s a dirty joke shared at a book signing, then a dirtier one told at a dinner party - lots of jokes here. Plenty of laughs.

It had to be you, David.

But it wasn’t. Sedaris makes his written work even better through his own voice. Why the departure? It’s a formula that has yielded massive success for decades. Please don’t fix what isn’t broken. Sedaris is the rare author who can bring his own stories to life with just the right cadence, inflection, and snark. It’s a gift. Unfortunately, without it I’m regretting choosing audio.
