Book Description
The perfect house, the perfect husband and the perfect life... or is she just faking it?
Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster for Ella. Growing up as the 'less successful' identical twin to her 'perfectly successful' sister, Emma, has left her feeling isolated, inadequate and let's face it.. a little bitter.
When Emma unexpectedly reaches out to Ella in a time of need, Ella suddenly finds herself with the opportunity to fill in for her sister and experience how the other half live.
But as Ella navigates the world of gossiping mothers, rebellious teens and trying to play the model housewife (not to mention avoiding the temptation of attractive men at the school gates...) will she discover that all is not always as it seems on the other side?
Discover the brilliantly funny new romantic comedy from top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh. Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Sophie Ranald and Lindsey Kelk
My Review
This is such a fun and witty read the I loved from beginning to end and could not put down.
Twin sisters, Ella and Emma could not be more different. Emma seems to have it all, the perfect husband, the perfect house and the perfect life. While Ella is still moving from job to job and has just been asked to move out of her flat.
So when Emma reaches out to Ella explaining she is in need of help, Ella decides that of course she can step in and help her sister after all how hard can it be to pretend that she is Emma?
It does not take long for Ella to realise just how much hard work that Emma puts into her life and her family too. Add in the gossiping friends, doing the school run and very secretive teenager, Ella is soon beginning to realise that maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side.
I thoroughly enjoyed this fun and witty read that at times really did make me giggle. The writing style is fun to follow and is full of plenty of twists within the story.
I really enjoyed getting to know Ella. You get a good insight into her childhood reading the book and you understand just why she has the lifestyle she has. You find out more about the relationship between the sister too as you go through the pages.
I really enjoyed the different story line and found it flowed well. I like how unpredictable the story was and you were never sure just what was in store next for Ella. I thought her dealings with the Yummy Mummy brigade were simply hilarious. There is also the very handsome Marco to add into the mix too.
It was also lovely to see Ella build a relationship with her niece and nephew seeing as she has not had a close relationship with her sister for some time.
This book is the perfect pick me up for a grey winter day and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
A wonderful five star read.
