That set up sounds more like The Westing Game, but this book share far more DNA with Fried Green Tomatoes. But more than that, they both struggle together as they learn that so much of what they thought they understood about their family was a lie. Benny has been nominally estranged from her sibling and parents for the last 8ish years, and Byron struggles with both his grief and this reunion. After their mother dies, brother and sister come together to listen to her last message to them together. But that’s exactly what happens to Benny and Byron (B and B, as their mother refers to them) in this novel. That’s a random way to begin a review of this incredibly excellent novel – Black Cake is one of my top 10 of the year so far – and it’s also a little random to consider discovering a new family member.

The phrase ‘how predictable’ may have even crossed my mind. I actually groaned out loud and may have rolled an eyeball or two when I saw that it had been selected.
