I'm reading The Chicken Sisters


From Chapter 19:

It took all night before she reached Sabrina.  A night when more than once Mae had seen customers bent over their phones heads together and she'd heard snatches of conversation, thought she caught people staring because of course anyone in town would know that video referred to Barbara.  But anyone in town had also been eating at Mimi's for years.  And they weren't going to let a little thing like a messy house stop them.  Especially not one that most of them were already vaguely aware of.  None of their business, as always.  Once that attitude had infuriated Mae. Now that she was no longer a little kid wishing someone would save her, now that she had long since saved herself,  she blessed it.  Pay no attention to the house behind the restaurant, folks, move along, nothing to see here.  Mimi's was still pretty busy.  The food was all gone.

Sounds like a fun read for sure! The cover and title remind me of my sister and I breaking the wishbone as children. Such a good memory! Happy memeversary weekend!
