That knock on the door that changes everything!
Sisters Kate and Lauren have been getting together for a weekly lunch with their family after their father’s death. One day there is a knock on the door and a young woman who claims that she is their half-sister. A sister they never knew about. A sister who has DNA proof which rocks all their worlds, or does it? Is the DNA proof real or is a forgery? Because if it is real, it means the father that they loved and admired cheated on his wife. What does their Mother think of all of this? Did she know? Did she have any idea?
This book is told through both Kate and Lauren’s POV. One is more shocked than the other upon hearing the news. Both go at each other in the book to prove the “these sisters are polar opposites” theme. As the story unravels, we learn that some characters have more secrets than we originally thought.
I breezed through this pretty fast and although enjoyable, this domestic suspense did not blow me away. I cannot fault the writing, but I just found that I wasn’t as engaged with the storyline as I would have liked to have been. It was a fast and light read for me.
Fans of this author will most likely enjoy this book. I just wanted the characters to be more fleshed out. I found them to be a little lacking, but I did enjoy Kate the most. Will the ending be a surprise or obvious? Read and find out.
I received a copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press – Minotaur Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
