Christine Riccio
Freaky Friday meets The Parent Trap in New York Times best-selling author Christine Riccio's Better Together, a sparkling and heartfelt story about sisters, second chances, finding romance, and finding yourself.
Jamie’s an aspiring standup comic in Los Angeles with a growing case of stage anxiety.
Siri’s a stunning ballerina from New Jersey nursing a career-changing injury.
They’ve both signed up for the same session at an off the grid Re-Discover Yourself Retreat in Colorado. When they run into each other, their worlds turn upside down.
Jamie and Siri are sisters, torn apart at a young age by their parents' volatile divorce. They’ve grown up living completely separate lives: Jamie with their Dad and Siri with their Mom. Now, reunited after over a decade apart, they hatch a plot to switch places. It’s time they get to know and confront each of their estranged parents.
With an accidental assist from some fortuitous magic, Jamie arrives in New Jersey, looking to all the world like Siri, and Siri steps off her flight sporting a Jamie glamour.
The sisters unexpectedly find themselves stuck living in each other's shoes. Soon Siri's crushing on Jamie's best friend Dawn. Jamie's falling for the handsome New Yorker she keeps running into, Zarar. Alongside a parade of hijinks and budding romance, both girls work to navigate their broken family life and the stresses of impending adulthood.

"A unique coming-of-age story....a refreshing perspective on two women looking at the lives they think were set before them and realizing the opportunities that await them if they could just take a step away from the four walls they were raised in.... A wholly original story of sisterhood." (Hypable)

I picked up the book because I just came off another of Karissa Vacker’s audio reads and loved it and was like I’d love to hear something again with her in it. I saw this and it piqued my interest I was expecting a semi original story that would do just enough to be good to make me like the book. Instead I’m leaving it hugely invested in the characters and story all of them lovely and deeply grown.
If you are on the edge about this book let this be the thing that pushes you over. Read it. It can be hard at times because the author is real about how hard life can hit you sometimes, but it’s a good hard because it doesn’t make you want to stop, but slow down and digest the information presented to you. This book had be laughing out loud, crying, smiling and constantly wanting more. I would love to see a short novella about the characters in a few years maybe another 14, just so we can see the end the results of the growth started in this story, that is the only thing I have against the book, that it shows the start and progress being made to grow, not how things are once things finally become a new way of normal.
Just. Wow.
