Summary: Savvy and decisive, Burgundy Reeves feels blessed with a good husband and a successful career. She is the sister everyone envies. Since her beloved mother's death, she's given troubled youngest sister, Elyse, a stable home when she needs it most. And she's taken it on herself to keep her contentious siblings together. Under her guidance, they all meet bi-monthly on "Sister Day," a time when they get together to bond, to receive a challenging "assignment," and to cope with a range of things--including their many differences . . . Among the sisters' most challenging assignments: tell the truth. But truthfulness leads to an unveiling of secrets that may destroy lives. Burgundy is struggling to show Coco the real deal about her unreliable baby daddy. If she and level-headed Drucilla can also convince hard-headed eldest sister Alita to give Coco more love than tough talk, that might heal a longtime rift. But it's teenage Elyse's truth that will shatter Burgundy's perfect world beyond repair. And putting the pieces back together could make the sisters stronger together than ever--or pull them apart for good.

Booklist Review

Popular fiction and romance author Rax (Revenge of the Mistress, 2017) begins a new series about the five Reeves sisters, who, ever since their mother died, get together twice a month for Sister Day. Burgundy organizes the events and brings her 19-year-old sister, Elyse, who lives with her and her family. Alita, the oldest, is confrontational and bitter from worrying about money while raising her teen son. Coco is expecting her fourth child, and her partner, Calhoun, seems ambivalent. Drucilla has a great boyfriend, but she's unhappy. Although each sister has secrets, the most troubling one, involving sexual molestation, is Elyse's, as she is mostly nonverbal and remains childlike. Rax's strength in creating terrific female dynamics shines in this dramatic story of loving, if troubled, sisters. Readers won't miss the irony in the fact that the sister who seems the most together, Burgundy, with her businesses and children, is married to a monster. The book ends with hope, especially for Alita and Elyse, and readers will be anxious for the next installment from an author with a growing fan base.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2018 Booklist
