About the book

Jen and Riley's friendship, rooted in the days of their kindergarten adventures, has blossomed into an unbreakable sisterly bond despite their diverging life paths. Jen found love early and has now, after numerous attempts, joyfully discovered she's expecting. Riley, on the other hand, chased her youthful aspirations all the way to the cusp of making history as one of the first Black female anchors for Philadelphia's premier news channel.

Their unwavering connection faces its toughest challenge yet when an incident involving Jen's husband, a dedicated city police officer, shakes their world. He is implicated in the shooting of an unarmed Black youth, plunging a six-month-pregnant Jen into a whirlpool of dread over her family's future, her husband's liberty, and the stability of her friendship with Riley. Tasked with reporting this pivotal event, Riley grapples with its ramifications on her community, her career trajectory, and the fabric of her lifelong friendship with Jen.

"We Are Not Like Them" emerges as a poignant exploration of friendship's resilience and a catalyst for profound dialogue, celebrating the strength that comes from enduring bonds.

Hard to pick a side

This book just had me thinking a lot about the aftermath of a conflict gone wrong. By the end, it left me at a place where I couldn't decide what my feelings were. My heart broke for both women and everything that happened after something terrible occres.

The gifts truly bring the story to life and perfectly match what’s happening in the story. For example-the main character might have gotten a bracelet from her best friend in the story. And then you get that bracelet as a gift! It’s so fun because it’s an immersive experience.
