Ok. So I thought it would be a book but then it is a book kit with question that might be helpful for the ones reading the book or have already read it. And also there are receipes at the end😃

This book was sent to me as an ARC on Netgalley. However, all opinions were of my own.
Unfortunately I was unable to read this book as I did not realise the book was only containing prompts for the book club including questions for each chapter.

My neighbors and I decided to start a monthly book club and are kicking it off with “The Chicken Sisters”. Having discussion questions is a must, so I am grateful that those have been provided in this kit. What I didn’t anticipate were the recipes that were included! I am so excited to make the cream pie recipe for us to eat as we discuss this book together.

This is a great resource for a book club. I am definitely going to read the underlying book and possibly will recommend that it be added to my book club's reading calendar for the upcoming year. We always have one meeting where we carry in food that is all themed around the book so this would be a great fit, especially since the reading guide contains recipes!

Great resource, I appreciate NetGalley offering this as an option for their readers! I was excited to find this when my book club started reading this book, and love the recipes included!

This is a great resource! I love that there are open ended questions to share with your book club group, and also a short interview with the author. It provides some good insight into the decisions make in the writing of the book. We always like to chat about the author at my book club, so I appreciate that this was included. There’s even some recipes in the back of this guide!

I really appreciated having this book club kit to think about this book on a deeper level. I would be helpful to have discussion questions at the back of every book. Sometimes the questions make me think about the good themes in a different way.

This is a great book club kit to go with the book. My book club is always looking for discussion prompts, and I thought the questions in this kit were great to spark discussion. I really enjoyed the author interview and the recipes as well, since the whole time I was reading the book I wanted to be able to eat the food! I hope more of these kits are made for other books. They make hosting bookclub so easy!

THE CHICKEN SISTERS: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reality cooking show, sort-of feuding (but really just annoyed with each other) sisters, and small town politics are the genealogy that make up this tale that could have used a little bit more heart and soul.

NOTE: I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thanks Netgalley!

I'm obviously stupid and didn't know what a book club kit was. All the same, this was fantastic. Amazing ideas and questions for discussion.

This was not the book. It was only the Book Club discussion of the book. I could not give it a review as I could NOT read the book. I did not get the reasons to send a Book kit.

This is a great resource for those looking to host a book club. It features some great conversation starters and I think it compliments the book well.

Great resource!! This is a great companion piece to the book! I have not yet read the book but I am looking forward to it. I've heard so much about it. I lead book clubs at my library and if we decide to read The Chicken Sisters this would be a good resource.
Thanks Penguin Random House and NetGalley.

This guide will be awesome to have for a book club discussion! In addition to a reader's guide, and a conversation with the author KJ Dell'Antonia, it has a few recipes at the end! This will be great to have if my book club decides to read The Chicken Sisters in the future! And it would be so fun if we all tried to make the recipes and had our discussion over dinner/dessert!

This book club kit is an excellent companion to this book. The Q&A was insightful and the discussion questions were thoughtful and pointed. I loved the addition of recipes at the end.

This book threw me for a loop because I thought it was going to be a comedy and then I quickly realized it was a story of family drama. While it wasn't what I initially expected, I enjoyed reading about the sisters and how they worked through their issues.

There really are two fried chicken restaurants in Girard, Ks run by sisters, Chicken Annie's and Chicken Mary's. I've been to both, so when I saw this story, I had to read it......
A wonderful book about family and the trials and tribulations our families can put each other through. Two fried chicken restaurants over 100 yrs old originally founded by sisters competing with each other. They are currently run by sisters, descendants of the originals who are working to keep their businesses operating. This story is built around the daughters of one of the current sisters. One sister has worked in the fried chicken business most of her life but there is a problem. She married the son of the other chicken restaurant and switched sides. Her sister has been working for a reality TV program, where she has just been replaced by a younger model. The two come up with a plan to enter their mother and mother in law into Food Wars with a $100,000 cash prize for the winner. And WAR it will be......
This was a wonderful story written with just a little sarcasm and a lot of humor. How the families survive and exactly who wins make for a very entertaining read.
