Summary
A warm, wry novel about secrets, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers, daughters, and sisters by the #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author of Life and Other Near-Death Experiences.
Laine Francis believes there’s a place for everything—and New York, where her family lives, isn’t her place. But no sooner does the professional organizer’s marriage begin to unravel than her sisters drop another bomb on her: their mother, Sally, may have dementia, and they need Laine to come home.
Laine agrees to briefly return to Brooklyn. After all, bringing order to chaos is what she does best. To Laine’s relief, Sally seems no more absentminded than usual. So Laine vows to help her mother maintain her independence, then hightail it back to Michigan.
Except Laine’s plans go awry when she runs into her former best friend, Ben, and realizes she finally has a chance to repair their fractured relationship. Then she discovers that memory loss isn’t the only thing Sally’s been hiding, forcing Laine to decide whether to reveal a devastating truth to her sisters—and whether to follow her heart when it means breaking her mother’s.
Critic reviews
“Brought vividly to life in a true 'theatre of the mind' experience by the narrative talents of Amy McFadden and Laural Merlington, Everything Must Go is author Camille Pagan's warm, wry, and original novel about secrets, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers, daughters, and sisters.” —Midwest Book Review
“The dual narrations—Laine's and her mother's—are key to the story. McFadden expresses Laine's emotions perfectly in every situation, while Merlington plays the part of a mother who is not so sure that her mind is working properly. Both carry the tone of the story from lighthearted to serious and contemplative with expert grace.” —Booklist
“I will not miss a Camille Pagán novel and this is why: the most relatable women between two covers, the most interesting situations, the most satisfyingly emotional outcomes. Everything Must Go has all of that, with a compassionate woman facing the crossroads between two futures, two men, and two cities—and navigating the nuances of her two beautiful, successful, and overbearing sisters all the while. The family secrets keep unfolding and the pages fly by in this moving, bighearted read!” —Kelly Harms, bestselling author of The Seven Day Switch
