Phoebe Glassman, a mortuary cosmetologist, is still reeling from the tragic deaths of her husband and daughter. I can’t imagine working in a funeral home help matters any. Neither does having a dead woman brought in who is her doppelganger. That would freak me out. Phoebe is warned that it might freak her out as well. What it does is light a fire under her to learn more about this woman and her connection to her own life.
The plot as they say, begins to thicken. It sucked me in with the emotional aspects of this book.
What would you do when your look alike shows up in the funeral home where you work? That’s a HUGE question. Phoebe must know all that she can and those in her life begin to worry even more than they already did about her. Poor Phoebe has a sad existence. You will either root for her or have difficulty connecting with her. I felt for Phoebe and yet had difficulty connecting with her as well.
This was a fast read. I wanted to know what Phoebe would learn. I wanted to know more about what her mother might divulge, what secrets and painful truths are lingering just below the surface? What family secrets are being kept hidden away? What will Phoebe learn about the dead woman?
I found this book to be enjoyable and hard to put down. Having said that, although I was compelled to keep reading, this book failed to completely “wow” me. It was good but there was something lacking here to make it great for me. Others are enjoyed this book more than I did so please read their reviews as well.
Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
