Sweet as Cane, Salty as Tears by Ken Wheaton
4.0
This book - it had me smiling at the Prologue. I went into it not knowing what to expect. Katie-Lee (or Katherine to her New York office colleagues) has left Louisiana behind after a family tragedy to work for a magazine in NYC. Addicted to facebook, she uses it as her only real means of keeping tabs on her family, mainly her sisters. When someone posts a link about an accident involving a Rhino and a Louisiana vet, Katie-Lee is stunned to find that the vet is her younger sister, Karen-Anne. Forcing her to face her past, Katie-Lee has to conquer her demons and head back home.
I can't believe this was written by a man. Can NOT believe it. Katie-Lee is so real, so warm, so fragile (yet so strong), so loveable - this book is a gorgeous read. The author makes both Louisiana and New York City jump off the page. I've never been to either place, but by the end, I felt like I had. The way Katie-Lee and her sister Kendra-Sue interact is so familiar to anyone who's ever had a bit of family drama - some of their spats had me in tears laughing.
Loved, loved this book. Sincere thanks to the publishers & author for granting my Netgalley request to read it.
