A "fresh, funny, and satisfying" (New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner) story about the complicated bonds of sisterhood.

Twenty-nine-year-old Lindsey Rose has, for as long as she can remember, lived in the shadow of her ravishingly beautiful fraternal twin sister, Alex. Determined to get noticed, Lindsey is finally on the cusp of being named VP creative director of an elite New York advertising agency, after years of 80-plus-hour weeks, migraines, and profound loneliness. But during the course of one devastating night, Lindsey’s carefully constructed life implodes. Humiliated, she flees the glitter of Manhattan and retreats to the time warp of her parents’ Maryland home. As her sister plans her lavish wedding to her Prince Charming, Lindsey struggles to maintain her identity as the smart, responsible twin while she furtively tries to piece her career back together. But things get more complicated when a long-held family secret is unleashed that forces both sisters to reconsider who they are and who they are meant to be.

The story was pretty good, but for the first time I almost stopped listening because I could not stand the narration! Wish I would have just read it!

All around great novel. For those times you want something light to listen to o, after a serious thriller or mystery

Easy Listening

The narrator sounded kind of pissed off the entire book which did not add to the audible experience. The story itself though was insightful, interesting and unexpected enough to make it hard to ‘put down’. I’ll look for more by this author.

Enjoyed this book.

I wasn’t sure about this book the first chapter or two. It was a slow start. But overall it was OK. Kind of a cheesy storyline. A little bit predictable. But it was a nice break from what I usually read. A little outdated storyline. The whole dating scene and shift from ad executive to matchmaker was very hallmark channel. Overall, it was fun, cute, something different.

A nice break from my usual reads

Jennifer Weiner praises the book on the cover but this book is not remotely in her league. The author writes decently well, but the characters are fairly shallow, entitled and not very self aware... it gets better as it goes on...

not nearly as good as expected

I loved everything about this novel. This is the first sister story in a long time that I didn’t roll my eyes at and say “Sure.” The characters are likable and the story flowed well.

I loved this book. It to me is about 2 sisters who thought each other had a perfect life and each was wrong. Unfortunately it took a tragedy to bring them together. It resonated with me because my sister and I were totally different and when I lost her at an early age, as I age, I find myself wondering what would have happened it we had just talked.

Wonderful Story of Sisters

It was a great story about a transformation of a workaholic and her sister. They both made big changes and it was captivating. I wanted to keep listening to it.
