For July 2022, Oxygen Book Club strayed from its usual true crime focus to devour something more suitable for the beach: the fictional mystery "Like A Sister" by Kellye Garrett. The novel focuses on Lena Scott, whose estranged half-sister Desiree has become a reality star. But after Desiree is found dead on a playground in the Bronx after her 25th birthday party, she refuses to accept the official story that it was the result of an overdose. Lena knows something else happened — and she's determined to discover the truth about what happened to her sister.
