Black Joy and Sisterhood

Release Date: July 30th

Sisterhood, money and secrets tell a story of four friends and their varying life troubles.  The Bookshop Sisterhood by Michelle Lindo-Rice is a story of four best friends—Celeste, Yasmeen, Toni and Leslie— who are finally on the verge of opening the bookstore of their dreams. A place where their community can find solace with an intriguing new read, a comforting beverage and book-loving friends. But before they can make their dream a reality, their worlds are upended in so many ways.

I loved this drama packed, down to earth pager turner that made me laugh and cry and saw each woman work through their trials and tribulations but always rely on their friends.  With lots of twists and turns, I found myself saying out loud “girl, don’t I know it” and “I knew she was trouble”!  The Bookshop Sisterhood will take you on a wild rollercoaster and have you contemplating how much of our lives we truly share with our friends and how honest we are with ourselves about the aspects of our lives. Are we ready to be vulnerable and speak what’s on only on our minds but also our hearts? With a fast pace and easy flow, this story is sure to keep you entertained through unexpected plot twists and beautiful new beginnings.

If you’re looking for moving story about the trials and tribulations of friends as close as sisters center around black joy, then The Bookshop Sisterhood is a must read. If you love this book, then you’ll love Wahala by Nikki May.
