Can you trust a sister who is a stranger?
Ella
Matthews has it all. A beautiful house, a charming husband and a
precious baby daughter – her life has pretty much turned out exactly as
she planned.
But when Ella’s mother tragically dies, her perfect
life starts to crack. Her mother had been harbouring a life-long secret.
Ella has a sister – an older sister – called Colleen.
Excited by the thought of no-longer being an only child, Ella can’t wait to find her.
But Colleen has a whirlwind past of her own. Desperate to escape her troubles, she is ready to go to any length to start afresh.
As
their paths collide, someone is keeping secrets… and when Colleen
mysteriously disappears without notice, Ella can’t help but question if
she should have started looking for her at all…
This is the second collaboration I've read by these two authors and I liked it better than the first one, The New Wife. I liked the characters better in this one and I read it instead of listening, so I didn't have narrators I didn't like adding to the overall experience. I docked half a star from my rating because there's a character—Ella—that was yet again, too stupid to live. Thankfully it wasn't throughout the whole book. I liked Ella except for when she didn't use her brain a few times. Her sister, Colleen was one of those characters that I kept wondering if I could trust or not, and I liked that aspect of the book a lot.
There was a twist that surprised me in this one, so that was a real plus for the book. There was one minor plot hole that I found that I'm still wondering about, but overall I found this to be an enjoyable story that once I got going, I had a hard time putting down.
