The Sisters Café: A Novel (Cadillac Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (4,067)

Get ready for twin sister shenanigans, best friends who have your back, and a lot of small-town Texas love. From the New York Times–bestselling author.

Cathy Andrews has a choice: marry Mr. Safe-But-Boring, or take a chance on finding herself.

Cathy Andrews wants it all: a husband, a baby, and a little house in her charming small town of Cadillac, Texas. With all that she's gone through in her past, she's earned her happily ever after and is more than ready to put down some long-term roots. The trouble is, she's no longer sure the reliable man she agreed to marry is the right guy. Sure, he's got great teeth and hair, but he's also got dreams of being a politician—and Cathy doesn't know if she's ready to be just arm candy to a man who doesn't stir her blood.

It'll take the help of her twin sister to set her back on a path to being the woman she always knew she could be.

Marty Andrews has got a thing or two to say about Cathy's duller-than-a-doorknob fiancé. She thinks Cathy's meant for great things, not settling for second-best. Marty's determined to see her sister find a truly happy life, so she gathers up their squad of sisters-by-choice to help Cathy learn to let go of what she thinks is right . . . and become the woman she was meant to be.

(Previously published as The Blue-Ribbon Jalapeno Society Jubilee and What Happens in Texas by Carolyn Brown.)

"Fans of beloved Southern films, like Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes, will flip for this charming small-town tale." —Woman's World

The Sisters Cafe’
This is such a fun book, and the characters are hilarious. In Cadillac, Texas there are the twins and life long best friends, beans and greens, and the Jalapeño Jubilee! Plenty of gossip, and plenty to gossip about. The ex -husband, the powder puff that is running for election, and his overpowering mother. And Agnes, who could care less about the mother except to make her life miserable. I laughed out loud so much! This book will definitely lift your spirits and is you are in a sad state of mind, you won’t be when you start reading this book!

    A very fun novel to read! The characters are everything most small town residents are: loving, kind, generous, and gossipy. You’ll cheer, laugh, and feel like you’re with family throughout every chapter. Can’t wait to read Cadillac Book 2!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not what the blurb described
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The blurb on the book said this book was about Cathy and her rejection of her fiance and her search for something better. This did happen in the book, but was really just a subplot to the whole text. The book is really more about sisterhood and woman-power in a small Texas town. The women dominate the story and the men are really just nonentities. Even the nice guys aren't fleshed out. They are there to be adjuncts to the women. There's a large cast of characters that are hard to keep straight for a long time. After a while, it was easier to keep all the women straight (don't bother worrying about the men; they aren't that important). The great-aunt of Cathy and Marty dominates a lot of the story and becomes somewhat irritating, although I really did love what she did to the Jalapeno Society booth stuck up in front of the sister's cafe. It was a mildly amusing read but I have no interest in reading the rest of the books in this series. I can only assume that they will be similar: a small amount of plot with a large cast of women bonding and supporting each other.

    I will say the only thing I found that seemed very forced in the story line was the rescue efforts for the abused women. Three abused women popping up in such a short amount of time seemed unrealistic considering nothing like this had happened in the women's experience up to that point in their lives. And how someone gets a bunch of new credentials and a new identity so easily was also unrealistic. Questions are going to come up eventually about these women, but the author didn't seem to care to address that at all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray For Sisterhood
    Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I loved this book! All the characters and the drama were great. Aunt Agnes was really funny and I laughed a lot. Trixie and Marty were the wild ones. Trixie was divorced from Andy who was a man whore. Cathy was the sweet twin who finally dumped Ethan, the mamma's boy and found a real man, John. Jack was their childhood friend who I was hoping would hook up with Trixie. Liked the rescue operation of Domestic Violence victims. Also was touched how Trixie coped with her mother suffering with alzheimer's. Ms. Brown always writes the best sisterhood books and in this one the characters were awesome. Looking forward to reading "The Shop On Main Street".

    This is a truly touching and hilarious story of twin sisters, their best friend, a crotchety old aunt and life in a small southern town in the Texas Bible belt! Marty & Cathy and their best friend Tricia own Miss Clawdy's Cafe and often have to referee a life long feud between their Aunt Agnes and Violet the Queen Bee of the county. Enter hooker turned preacher, Darla Jean! Gossip abounds as usually happens in a small town. It keeps you turning the pages just to see what happens next! An absolute enjoyable read!

    Like I said, the book is great. The shipper on the other hand??? Apparently UPS workers in this case do not know how to scan packages. When I checked the tracking number for a week, it's shown that the pkg was sitting at the carrier whse. I tried calling UPS this morning-of course you can't talk to anyone in the US, but she did tell me the book was out for delivery. Thank Goodness!!!

    I love the sparks and tempers of the ladies in Cadillac. Agnes is my hero!! She is blessed with the “I don’t give a damn” gene and will tell you. She is the unofficial matriarch of the clan - Cathy, Marty, Trixie and Darla Jean. The grief that Agnes gives Violet is perfect. You will be lol at some of her antics and statements. Between rescuing abused women, writing erotic romance novels, fixing up an old Cadillac, and running a successful business, they group can really get into some hilarious situations. Absolutely love this story and can’t wait to see what mischief the clan gets into next.
