Four Takeaways and a Funeral: A Sibling Rivalry Comedy

Sometimes it takes a funeral to realize what matters. 

Mavis and Lumpy are getting married, but they can’t agree on anything, even the size of their wedding cake. When Lumpy befriends the local Indian restaurant, their relationship spirals out of control.

Mavis’s sister arrives to “sort things”. She wins over Lumpy with budget ideas that would have Scrooge tap dancing. Mavis wants to tap dance on her sister’s head and is on the verge of throwing it all away when her mother dies.

With a funeral befitting a sitcom, sibling rivalry on par with a Shakespearean tragedy, and a dying mother's impossible wish, Mavis and Lumpy’s relationship crumbles like a burnt chapatti.

Will the funeral be the final straw?

Four Takeaways And A Funeral is the third book in the Bellydancing and Beyond series, although each book can be read as a standalone. For fans of Abbey Jimenez, Maddie Please, and Judy Leigh, Three Takeaways And A Funeral is a bittersweet comedy set in a small Scottish town.
