Both Can Be True by Jessica GuerrieriRead about the other entries on the list.
The Gilmore sisters have drifted apart. Frankie is the funny one, full of restless energy and sharp edges. Now a bookstore owner who has been sober for years, she avoids her past as much as she does alcohol.
Mere is the steady one, the caretaker, a mother quietly unraveling from the loneliness of her marriage and the strain of raising a neurodivergent daughter. When a woman in Frankie’s social circle disappears, the sisters are unexpectedly forced to confront their past, and with it, the unspoken trauma of sexual violence and the vices they turned to in order to survive their fractured bond.
Q&A with Jessica Guerrieri.
