Publisher Description
The bestselling author of Getting Rid of Matthew and My Sweet Revenge tells the story of a woman living in her sister's shadow.
When it comes to genes, life is a lottery . . .
Abi knows that all too well, having spent her life in the shadow of her beautiful, glamorous older sister Cleo.
Headhunted as a model at sixteen, Cleo has been all but lost to Abi for twenty years. So when Abi is invited to spend the summer with her sister's perfect family, she says yes. Maybe Cleo is finally as keen as Abi to regain their childhood closeness?
But Abi is in for a shock. Soon she's left in charge of her two spoilt nieces and her handsome, unhappy brother-in-law. As she moves into her sister's life, a cuckoo in the nest, Abi wrestles with uncomfortable feelings.
Could having beauty, wealth and fame lead to more unhappiness than not having them? Who in the family really is the ugly sister?

Very readable
I can't see me wanting to re-read this but did find it very readable.
It is the third book by Jane Fallon I have read - I am not sure if it was the first I'd have bothered with others - but it hasn't totally put me off.
It did remind me of happy days in Primeose Hill, too....
Disappointing
This could have been so much more! So disappointed with the ending. The characters and plot build up brilliantly but lead to nothing. This is the worst Jane Fallon book I’ve read.
A chore to read
I continued to read this even though I was mind numbingly bored. But I should’ve followed my instincts and stopped after the first chapter. The ending is poor and incomplete. So poor in fact that I assumed there had been a download error.
