Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.


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?

Reviews

Sassy and brilliantly written
This is brilliant writing with an edge, a thoughtful exploration of the dark side of fame . . . An irresistible read
A triumph of snappy writing, pointed observation and acerbic wit
Praise for Jane Fallon
Chick lit with an edge
Sparkling and unpredictable
You can always rely on Jane Fallon for a well-crafted, dryly-funny, just-one-more-chapter-before-I-turn-out-the-light read
Compulsively readable
Deliciously devious . . . A darkly comic and addictive read
I love Jane Fallon, she's in a category all of her own - her books are great fun and her characters are fabulous, believable women who take no nonsense (Marian Keyes)

I enjoyed look at slice of London life, but I didn't like the characters, so would've liked to see payback for their failings.
