The Sisterhood Rules

by Kathy Lette

The Sisterhood

1. Never let a man come between you
2. Share all your secrets
3. Live life to the fullest - girls just wanna have fun

For twin sisters Isabel and Verity, the sisterhood rules were shattered when Verity had an affair with Izzy's husband. Unforgivable, right? Devastated by her sister's betrayal, Izzy casts Verity into social Siberia.

But when their mother goes missing, Verity and Izzy are forced to come together again to find her. And then the estranged sisters' problems only get bigger. Their mother has a new younger lover and where there's a will… he'd clearly like to be in it.

Can they stop their mother making a dreadful mistake? And in doing so find a way to bury the pain of the past?

Full of laugh-out-loud humour and devastating pathos, Kathy Lette's brilliant new novel takes us on a roller-coaster ride which proves that from pain comes healing, from honesty comes forgiveness, and that nothing is more important than your sisters.

About the author

Kathy Lette divides her time between being a full time writer,
demented mother (now there's a tautology) and trying to find a shopping trolley that doesn't have a clubbed wheel.

Kathy first achieved succés de scandale as a teenager with the novel Puberty Blues, now a major motion picture.

After several years as a singer with the Salami Sisters and a newspaper columnist in Sydney and New York (collected in the book "Hit and Ms") and as a television sitcom writer for Columbia Pictures in Los Angeles, her novels, "Puberty Blues" (1979) "Girls Night Out" (1988), "The Llama Parlour" (1991), "Foetal Attraction" (1993), "Mad Cows" (1996),"Altar Ego" (1998) "Nip'N'Tuck" (2001), "Dead Sexy" (2003) and "How To Kill Your Husband (and other handy household hints)" (2006) became international best-sellers. Kathy Lette's plays include "Grommits", "Wet Dreams", "Perfect Mismatch" and "I'm So Happy For You I Really Am".

She lives in London with her husband and two children and has just finished a stint as writer in Residence at London's Savoy Hotel.

Kathy says that the best thing about being a writer is that you get to work in your jammies all day, drink heavily on the job and have affairs and call it research! (Although her husband says he should have the affair as it would give her a better book!)

really fun read. Made me smile from the first page. Family divided, 3 generations of a musical family. Divided by a male.
Twin sisters who love the same man, one who he married and had a daughter with, then leaving her for the twin sister.
A rift of 5 years is only put aside when their mum goes AWOL.
Full of twists and turns. Enjoy I did

I've been a fan of Lette's books right back from the 80's when I as a teen eagerly devoured a copy of Girls Night Out. Many moons later I'm still enjoying them just as much!

The Sisterhood Rules was a fun filled, riotous romp into 'saving mother'. It was fun to read and came with many a laugh out loud moment.

I liked the characters; the twins with their barbed narratives, and their mother with her new found joie de vivre.

A thoroughly enjoyable escapism.

Izzy hasn’t spoken to her twin sister Verity for five years. Not since she had an affair with her husband, breaking the cardinal Sisterhood Rule ‘Never Let A Penis Come Between Us’. But when Verity calls to say their mother, Nicole, is missing, Izzy reluctantly agrees to a ceasefire so they can work together to find her. And when they do find her things only get worse. Because their 69-year-old mother has a young, gold-digging lover and is giving up her job to go travelling with him. Can the sisters find a way to work together to stop their mother making a huge mistake?

Hilarious, sassy, racy and outrageous, this was an absolute riot. I started laughing on the first page and didn’t stop until the last. There are so many memorable and quotable lines and I often stopped to read them out to my husband as they were just too good not to share. But this is so much more than a funny story. It is also a story that is full of heart, giving us scenes that had me all in my feelings as Kathy Lette explores themes of sisterhood, womanhood, complex family relationships, betrayal, forgiveness and healing. Lette has also added some jaw-dropping revelations and surprising twists that will keep you on your toes. It all comes together to create a propulsive novel that was impossible to put down once I’d started.

The book is filled with a cast of charismatic characters who were so much fun to read. I loved that Izzy and Verity may be twins but they were totally different people and even described themselves as ‘the classic odd couple’. Izzy is a pernickety single mum who has given up on life, whilst Verity is a glamorous bohemian who lives life to the full. And while their differences used to make them one perfect whole, they now solidify the chasm between them. I enjoyed watching them try to learn to work together as they searched for their mother and even began to hope they might find a way to reconcile. And speaking of their mother, Nicole is a fantastic character. She is an ebullient, vibrant and fabulous lady who is putting the sex into sexagenarian (I can’t take credit for that line, it’s in the book) and I was rooting for her as she rediscovered life and grabbed it with both hands.

So if you’re looking for a book to lift your spirits and make you laugh out loud, this is for you.

“‘Ah, but autumn is just as beautiful as spring … so much has been written and sung about beautiful young women, but why doesn’t anyone write sonnets or symphonies about the beauty of older women? Nor spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face’”

I’ve been aware of Kathy Lette for a while now because she is a prolific writer and now I’ll definitely be picking up some more of her books. She captures the essence of being an older woman in the most relatable ways with a cheeky flair and a lot of heart.

The Sisterhood Rules brings us two women who broke the unwritten rules of girlhood, but need to come together again — it starts off with a lot of backstory told through the conversations between our twins, teetering almost into too much info dump too soon and had a few repetitive moments in the early chapters but it kept a fabulous pace with a fun, energetic flow that just worked and was so easy to read. Our characters were wonderful — Isabella tells the story about how Verity not only stole her husband but still pretends to be the better sister. Isabella dropped out of a prestigious music programme to play rock shows with her drummer boyfriend (bad move) while Verity is polished, adult — at least on the surface. At the start, I didn’t like either of them, found them petulant, judgemental, childish; but they grew on me so quickly.

The tension between the sisters was written perfectly, watching them regress into petty children at times but then their desperation to find their mum forcing them together with a fragile, fraught new relationship that felt like a pressure cooker, especially when they could never expect what they’d actually find there. The journey to find their mother wasn’t the adventure, it was trying to figure out what to do next and utter chaos ensues.

A joyous exploration of female sensuality and not growing invisible when we old, and a love letter to the women who lift us up. So much fun.

Thank you, Head of Zeus publishers and Random Things Tours, for giving me a copy of The Sisterhood Rules in return for an honest review.
Kathy Lette’s latest book is a torrent of brilliant one-liners, interspersed with jokes so rude they would make a billy-goat blush. I loved this comment about sibling rivalry. ‘You’d pick her up after a fall, but only ‘cause you’d tripped her in the first place.’
Lette’s racy humour is underpinned by feminism. Isabel and her twin sister Verity have not spoken for years, because Verity stole Isabel’s husband. Thanks to the charms of love rat Johnny, the rule that sisters must never allow a man to come between them is in smithereens.
Everything changes when their mother goes missing. Can the feuding sisters unite to save Nicole from the clutches of a gold-digger? It seems unlikely. After bringing up Isabel and Verity alone while building a successful career as an orchestral conductor, Nicole wants to retire and spend the rest of her life doing what she likes. And she really likes doing Gawain, who is less than half her age.
Money is treated satirically in The Sisterhood Rules. Nicole’s daughters fear they will lose their inheritance if she marries Gawain. Verity is a wealthy music critic, but Isobel is a peripatetic music teacher with a child to support. Nicole’s agent Melissa is more concerned about her commission than her client’s welfare.
The family is united by musical talent, and Lette writes sensitively about the technical side of music. Another touching aspect is the undying love between the sisters. It is heartwarming when, after many hilarious adventures, they eventually make it up.
My only criticism of The Sisterhood Rules is that the Irish characters are rather stereotypical. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book.

[Karren Sandercock · Rating 5 out of 5]

London, England. Isabel and Verity Nightingale are twins and they have not spoken for five years and Izzy will never forgive her sister. Verity had an affair with her bad boy rocker husband Johnny, breaking one of the main sisterhood rules and she vows to never speak to her again.

When their mother Nicole a well-known and prestigious orchestra conductor goes missing, Verity and Izzy have no choice but to join forces to try and find her. Nicole has decided life is short, she’s going to do what she wants and her daughters are shocked by her attitude, lack of common sense and what she’s been up to.

Add in some hilarious situations, predicaments and characters like Gawain the Swiss Alpine horn player, Irish music student and police dog handler Farquoir, Chrissie Izzy and Johnny’s teenage daughter and Nicole’s manager Melissa the story has so many layers and complications.

I received a copy of The Sisterhood Rules by Kathy Lette from NetGalley and Aria & Aries in exchange for an honest review.

Ms Lette has a way with words, included in the narrative are comments that will make you laugh out loud and quite often we all think these things and would never say them.

A story about sisters, betrayal, facing what has been done, looking at it from both sides, from pain comes healing, from honesty comes forgiveness, and having a sister is a gift and don’t let anything come between you and especially a man and what’s between his legs.

OMG Kathy is still totally hilarious and has the best delivery and one liners EVER and how can it be forty seven years since she wrote the Aussie classic Puberty Blues? I highly recommend and five stars.

[Lizp · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this zany read. I follow Kathy Lette on Twitter, decided to order the book (himself ordered it for me) and it arrived the very next day. Impressed!

Izzy hasn’t spoken to her twin Verity for five years. Not since Verity had an affair with her husband, breaking a major Sisterhood Rule ‘Never Let A Penis Come Between Us’.

Verity rings Izzy to say their mum, Nicole, is missing. Izzy agrees to help Verity to find their mum. And when they after working together do find her things aren’t going well. Their 69-year-old mum has a toy boy who is after their mum’s money. She’s throwing in her job to travel with her young lover. They are not impressed with the situation.

This is the first Kathy Lette book I have read. I have seen and enjoyed Puberty Blues, etc on tv. It’s a really mad, funny, outrageous read. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. It was a quick read. It has some very good one liners. “Oh thanks Derry Man. You’re very kind but I clearly have the allure of a half-thawed rissole.” It’s not just funny though. Kathy L explores sisterhood, womanhood, family relationships, betrayal, and forgiveness.

The book is brimming with a cast of really funny, interesting characters. Izzy is a pedantic single mum. Her twin Verity is a bohemian who loves to live life to the fullest. So their differences cause a lot of angst, especially since Verity slept with Izzy’s husband. Their mum, Nicole is a lovely, vibrant, and vivacious character who is aching to rediscover life in her late 60s.

I highly recommend this funny and heartwarming book to others.

Twin sisters Isabel (Izzy) and Verity are estranged but then their mother goes missing so they must team up to find her and stop her from making a terrible mistake.

This was a really fun and enjoyable read. What I liked about the book in particular was it was humorous and there were times when I couldn’t stop laughing or smiling. The storyline was about family, relationships, sisterhood and moving forward.

Izzy and Verity might be twin sisters but they couldn't be more different. Izzy gave up her music career to be a wife and mother. Whereas Verity concentrated on her career. I got the impression that the sisters were once quite close but then Verity had an affair with Izzy’s husband and since then they have led different lives. Ever since the affair was revealed they stopped interacting with each other but when their mother goes missing they have no choice but to speak. Especially when it transpires that there is a young man in their mother’s life who might be more interested in her wealth than love.

It was interesting to see the two sisters connect after so many years because it was clear that they both felt uncomfortable in each others company. But they quickly realise that they have a common goal. I loved the banter between the two. They never stopped having little digs at each other but the digs were more humorous than rude and they both gave as good as they got. In some ways Izzy and Verity working together did bring them closer and helped them reconnect. But as the sisters start to dig into their mother’s new life they uncovered secrets that impacted their personal lives. I did feel really sad for Izzy because she seemed to be trapped in the past. She never got over her relationship ending and the fact that her sister was chosen over her. Izzy did give up on love and herself. It was really interesting to see how the sisters interacted. They started to trust each other but once secrets were unearthed they started to distrust each other again so they had to work hard to overcome their trust issues.

Ultimately this is a story about sisterhood and learning to trust again.

The story follows estranged twin sisters, Isabel and Verity, who haven't spoken in five years since a deep betrayal: Verity had an affair with Isabel’s husband. However, life has a way of forcing a reckoning and the two are pulled back together by the antics of their 69-year-old mother, Nicole. As the family navigates a series of surprises and "unspoken rules," they must decide if sisterhood is stronger than the secrets that tore them apart.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it was funny, lighthearted and incredibly entertaining. Despite the humor, the story felt authentic and realistic, particularly in its portrayal of family dynamics. I loved seeing three different generations—from the grandmother to the daughters and granddaughter—coming together and the unique sisterhood that resulted from their shared experiences.

A major highlight for me was the portrayal of women in their 40s and 60s. Watching the sisters' mother, Nicole, embark on a "later-in-life" awakening with a much younger man was both hilarious and empowering. It added a wonderful layer of energy to the story. I also really liked the concept of the "unspoken rules" that governed their relationships, and their love for music.

This was my first time reading a book by Kathy Lette and I found her writing style to be full of surprises. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for her future releases.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Aria & Aries, for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.

[Aditi Goud · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Sisterhood Rules by Kathy Lette is, at its heart, about two sisters Izzy and Verity trying to find their way back to each other after a betrayal that never really left them. When their mother suddenly disappears and turns up living her own chaotic life, they are forced into the same space again, carrying all the things they never truly resolved.
What stayed with me the most was the voice. It is sharp, bold and often very funny in a way that feels almost fearless. The book talks about infidelity, ageing and emotional neglect, but wraps it all in humour that makes it easier to sit with. There are moments where the honesty quietly hits you.
At the same time, I did feel like the story was trying to hold too many things at once. The humour is constant and while it is entertaining, it sometimes takes away from the emotional depth, especially in the sisters’ relationship. I found myself wanting more stillness, more time with their pain and not just the chaos around it.
Overall, this felt like a story that understands how complicated women and relationships can be. It is messy, a little overwhelming at times, but also sincere in what it is trying to say about forgiveness and choosing each other again. Not a perfect read for me, but one that still made me pause and think.

"Why is the world so obsessed with women's ages? Every interview I do references it... Do they want to chop me down and count the rings? Ageing is just another word for living, girls."

Twin sisters Isabel and Verity can't stand each other - but fear that their mother may be heading to Dignitas (a possibility which is quickly dispatched - they discover her in some kind of Alpine glamping ground having the time of her life) brings them together.

Much of the time, the heightened comic style of 'The Sisterhood Rules' feels only loosely tethered to reality - it's not subtle, but full of funny moments and scattergun one-liners. Amidst this, there are moments which feel very real, like the beautifully written passage in which Isabel feels nostalgic for their shared childhood bedroom and sisterly camaraderie: "sprawled on our single beds, dreaming, scheming... the vinyl records spread out across the carpet". I also loved the scene where Isabel feels a sudden, stark empathy for her sister ("Did I feel a loin-flutter of schadenfreude? A soupçon of revenge? Nope. What I felt was unutterable sadness").

'The Sisterhood Rules' reminded me of the golden age of chicklit (a term which isn't politically correct anymore, if it ever was) such as Sophie Kinsella and Helen Fielding's fiction - a screwball kind of humour that despite all the pratfalls is undeniably intelligent.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy.

I looked forward to reading this one, as I really like Kathy Lette books usually, but I found this one a bit too predictable. It is full of the usual puns, waspish observations and humorous one liners which are synonymous with the author but the story itself was obvious throughout. Two estranged sisters coming together to find their missing mother who they find in a yoga retreat where she has fallen for her much younger yoga instructor and they must join forces to try to stop him trying to romance their mother and get his hands on her money. The estrangement is because one twin has stolen the husband of the other and that continues to cause resentment throughout. Fiachra is an adult pupil and he is the most interesting character in the book. The humour still works but plot is too safe for me.

“Don’t break up with life!”

I have to say I haven’t read a Kathy Lette book before but had heard a lot of praise. I was able to read this book after getting an early copy and was so glad I did.

Sister breakups, family drama and romance, don’t we all know what those feel like!! I thought it was the perfect balance of mid life moodiness and lighthearted new beginnings. It was funny and sad in equal measure.

There were times where I wanted to scream at Verity and Bella to pull themselves together but, as well all know, the happy endings take time! The characters were loveable (mostly, looking at you Jonny) and the ending satisfying. I was smiling so much when finishing this book and that is a perfect sign of a well written story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, admittedly, more than I thought I would and would definitely recommend.

If you have read a Kathy Lette book before then you know what is ahead…laughs…..many of them……a good multi layered story and a whole lot of innuendo ( some subtle,a lot not! ) and a very witty biting narrative between characters

The Sisterhood Rules has all this and more as we meet twins Isabel and Verity,sworn enemies who are forced to act when their Mum goes missing

What follows is a hilarious romp around various Cities,here and abroad, as their music conductor Mum throws her batons away and picks up a young lover instead

Its mayhem and madness tinged with emotion and feeling and all backed up by the ‘Rules’,kind of…..

Its perfect escapism reading,suited to read anywhere and everywhere be it in one sitting or 10 minute bites and you can’t not be swept up in the love,laughter and tongue in cheek of it all

A master of her genre this author never fails to write a fantastic book

[Angi Plant · Rating 5 out of 5]

As with all Kathy Lette books I loved this. She has that magical quality where she can go from making you laugh out loud to completely shocking you the next. All her themes are ones that can be easily possible and will make women everywhere nod with understanding.
Female friendships and sisterhood are looked at in hilarious and honest depth. This book shows the differences and similarities between twins Isabella and Verity. They’re as different as they are alike. They’re one another’s light and shade. Their relationship needs to find some common ground after Verity did the worst thing she could to her twin. It shows how Izzy’s life changed, but how much of that can be laid at Verity’s door and how much can’t?
I loved the sisterhood rules list. Almost every woman knows these rules.
With thanks to Anne Cater, the publisher and the author for the advanced reading copy of this book.

The Sisterhood Rules by Kathy Lette is a very fun quick read.

Two estranged sisters, Izzy and Verity, were torn apart when Izzy’s husband Johnny moved on and in with Verity. Now their mother has gone missing and they are forced together to find her. I felt it was a bit predictable and expected the resolutions that were made.

As with Lette’s books, there are puns galore and it moves along at a rapid quick fire pace. There are lots of laugh out loud moments.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Aria & Aries, for making this e-ARC available to me in exchange a fair and honest review.

The Sisterhood Rules follows the story of two estranged sisters having to join up to stop the relationship their mother is having with a much younger man.

Unfortunately this book was not for me. It felt like it was trying too hard to be funny, and a lot of the humour fell flat for me, mainly due to the sheer volume of "jokes" and supposedly comedic comments. I really liked the idea of the story, but found myself skim reading to try and weed the story out from between the parts I personally found unnecessary. I did however really like the mother character - I just wanted her daughters to leave her alone! 2.5 stars.

[Miki Jacobs · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's an unspoken thing between women, the sisterhood rules. Even more so between twins. Izzy's life was shattered five years before when her husband ran off with her twin sister Verity. She hasn't spoken to her sister since then and has been coping with having her life turned upside down..
When their mother goes missing Verity gets in touch with her and they have to try and bury their differences to find her.
What follows is a mix of toyboys and boytoys, old family and new family and lots of music.
A fuin read, though at times you do want to shake Izzy by the shoulders and tell her to get a life.

“Don’t break up with life!”

For five years, estranged twin sisters Isabel and Verity had been cut off after a devastating betrayal: Verity had cheated on Isabel’s husband. However, life’s unpredictable nature eventually brings them back together through the antics of their 69 year old mother Nicole. As the family navigates a series of unexpected events and unspoken rules, they must determine whether their sisterhood is stronger than the secrets that once fractured them.

I really enjoyed this book; it was hilarious and incredibly entertaining. Even though it was funny, the story felt genuine and real, especially in how it showed family relationships. I especially loved seeing three different generations. The grandmother, daughters and granddaughter coming together and creating a special sisterhood through their shared experiences.

For a fun messy bonkers ride filled with family drama and laughter, this book is a must read.

Thank you NetGalley and Aria & Aries for providing me an ARC of this book.
When I started this book I was expecting something different. I was expecting it to be a little more serious in some aspects, and felt that some themes and situations needed less humour. Although I think the writing is good and it sucks you right in, I really couldn’t stand most of the characters, especially the sisters, and that took some of the joy of reading the book. I do understand why some people really liked this book, but the humour just wasn’t for me.

This was a fun read, as Kathy Lette's books tend to be. Focused on two sisters, twins, who fell out over a man several years ago, they start talking again when it seems that their mum is having a later-life crisis!

The family is creative, which adds a lot of fun and interest. There's a toyboy, a former / current husband and a musical student whose arcs support the overall story. The characters are fun and likeable, apart from the rogues that you aren't supposed to like!

It's a really good escapism - Kathy Lette at her best!

I read a couple of Kathy Lette books many many years ago and enjoyed them so I thought I’d give another one a try. Either I have changed or she has as I hated this. It reminded me of my relationship with the TV series Bridgerton where I wondered why I was wasting my precious time on it. I stopped watching Bridgerton but I don’t like not finishing books so raced through this to get it over with. I guess it’s farce and just not the genre for me. The storyline was ridiculous , the characters were ridiculous. It was riddled with corny one liners throughout which just weren’t funny in a book.

For twin sisters Isabel and Verity, the sisterhood rules were shattered when Verity had an affair with Izzy's husband. Unforgivable, right?
It certainly seems that way as the book opens and we see the sisters still at loggerheads. However, they do need to try and work together as they are worried about their mother who has run off and shacked up with a much younger man. The twins are worried that Gawain is just after their mother's money. Or is he?

With Lette's fantastic wit this is a jam packed, action filled adventure in word format that I really enjoyed.

It has been a while since I have laughed almost constantly when reading a book. This book did this for me. Twins Isabella and Verity have not spoken for 5 years after Verity broke rule seven of The Sisterhood Rules. The sisters have to call a truce and work together when their mom Nicole goes missing and then has her head turned by a younger man who is not all that he seems. With themes of sisters and family, honesty and forgiveness this is a fun read. I agree with the overall concept of the book - LTDS!

I really enjoyed this, it’s not something I would usually read but the cover really attracted me to it and honestly I was not disappointed, it was such a good read about not only sisters but sisterhood in general and sometimes us girls have to stick together no matter what! I love the relatable life lessons the book offered in such an entertaining way! I really enjoyed it and managed to read it all in one day!

I really didn’t like this book. It just didn’t hit for me. The premise of the book intrigued me and sounded like something I’d enjoy but I just didn’t. So much of the writing was too complicated and I didn’t really understand it. I also felt like the author could’ve done so much more with the plot. It’s a no from me.
