Four Takeaways and a Funeral: A Sibling Rivalry Comedy

Sometimes it takes a funeral to realise what truly matters.

Mavis and Lumpy are getting married, but they can't agree on anything—not even the size of their wedding cake. And when Fanny, Mavis's sister, arrives to "help", every decision becomes another battleground.

Fanny soon wins Lumpy over with budget ideas that would have Scrooge tap dancing. Mavis is on the verge of calling the whole wedding off when her mother dies, leaving a final wish that pushes the sisters' rivalry to its limits.

As Fanny takes charge of the funeral, Mavis takes out her frustrations on Lumpy, and their relationship begins to crumble. Now Mavis must decide whether winning the battle with her sister is worth losing the man she loves.

Will the funeral drive them apart—or finally bring them together?

Four Takeaways and a Funeral is the third novel in the Bellydancing and Beyond series, although each book can be enjoyed as a standalone. Perfect for readers of Marian Keyes, Judy Leigh, and Maddie Please, it is a warm, darkly funny novel about family, forgiveness, and discovering that love is worth fighting for.
