Why read it?
1 author picked All-Night Pharmacy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Madievsky’s brilliant, weird, evocative debut begins with the kind of first line that lets you know you’re in good hands: “Spending time with my sister, Debbie, was like buying acid off a guy you met on the bus.”
Debbie’s disappearance early in the novel forces the narrator to reckon with who she is outside of the sisters’ codependent relationship, and it raises questions about what we owe our more complicated family members.
From Kate's list on books that capture the love/hate relationship of sisters.
