A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK Named a Best Book Pick of 2021 by Harper's Bazaar and
Real Simple Named a Most Anticipated Book of Fall by People  Essence  New York Post  PopSugar 
New York Newsday  Entertainment Weekly  Town & Country  Bustle  Fortune  and Book Riot Told
from alternating perspectives  an evocative and riveting novel about the lifelong bond between
two women  one Black and one white  whose friendship is indelibly altered by a tragic event-a
powerful and poignant exploration of race in America today and its devastating impact on
ordinary lives. Jen and Riley have been best friends since kindergarten. As adults  they remain
as close as sisters  though their lives have taken different directions. Jen married young  and
after years of trying  is finally pregnant. Riley pursued her childhood dream of becoming a
television journalist and is poised to become one of the first Black female anchors of the top
news channel in their hometown of Philadelphia. But the deep bond they share is severely tested
when Jen's husband  a city police officer  is involved in the shooting of an unarmed Black
teenager. Six months pregnant  Jen is in freefall as her future  her husband's freedom  and her
friendship with Riley are thrown into uncertainty. Covering this career-making story  Riley
wrestles with the implications of this tragic incident for her Black community  her ambitions 
and her relationship with her lifelong friend. Like Tayari Jones's An American Marriage and
Jodi Picoult's Small Great Things  We Are Not Like Them explores complex questions of race and
how they pervade and shape our most intimate spaces in a deeply divided world. But at its heart
it's a story of enduring friendship-a love that defies the odds even as it faces its most
difficult challenges.
