Ashley Nelson Levy's debut, Immediate Family, is a beautifully raw ode to the bond between siblings. Just hours before her little brother is set to get married, the book's narrator is still struggling to figure out what to say in her toast. To help get her thoughts in order, she focuses on a letter to her brother in which she pours out all of the things she could never say out loud. From her thoughts on their childhood to her ongoing struggle with infertility, the narrator reveals everything she's not quite ready to share with her family.
