Actuality Tv set, sisterly rivalry and fried hen — how can you not adore this touching, intelligent novel from the writer of the viral New York Moments essay “Why I Failed to Response Your Email”?

Amanda is the daughter of the present-day owner of Hen Mimi’s, the place the rooster is pan-fried. But several years ago, she married into the loved ones that operates Hen Frannie’s, wherever the rooster is deep-fried. And now she will help run her mother’s nemesis.
