If Anything
Across one quiet year in the American suburbs, two adult sisters confront the unraveling myths of marriage, memory, and the woman who raised them.
Kelly Sullivan is finally done pretending. After years of living under the expectations of others, she's come out as gay—and now faces the hardest part of becoming leaving behind a husband and two sons. Her sister Kim, sharp-tongued and chronically overcomposed, is also newly divorced and ready to expose suburbia's false cheer and buried truths. Together, they navigate the slow death of their mother, the aftershocks of divorce, and the aching space between performance and authenticity.
Told with humor, heartbreak, and a clear-eyed tenderness, If Anything is a novel about reinvention, familial duty, and the quiet courage it takes to rewrite your story. In a world of manicured lawns, wine-fueled dinner parties, and generational ghosts, the Sullivan sisters search for something—if anything—that will bring them closer to the truth.

Once I started reading, I didn’t want to stop! I found myself rereading passages and lines because they were so beautifully written. I loved every character in this family as well as the descriptions and keen observations of suburbia. I’m looking forward to more novels from this author!

Finally, an honest story about adulthood, sisterhood, and the neighborhood! So many hard truths delivered with humor and pathos. Definitely recommending this one for next month's Book Club!
