An okay book about sister?s of a sister believed to be dead, but has reinvented herself. She is now clean, sober and a wife and mother with a new name. The sister finds where her sister is and must come to terms with the deception that sister has created and how it effects the mother and sister she left behind. Goodreads: From the author of The Art of Inheriting Secrets comes an emotional new tale of two sisters, an ocean of lies, and a search for the truth.Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV newsJosie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It?s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit?s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotionsÂ¥grief, loss, and angerÂ¥that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who?s been living a lie.After arriving in New Zealand, Kit begins her journey with the memories of the past: of days spent on the beach with Josie. Of a lost teenage boy who?d become part of their family. And of a trauma that has haunted Kit and Josie their entire lives.Now, if two sisters are to reunite, it can only be by unearthing long-buried secrets and facing a devastating truth that has kept them apart far too long. To regain their relationship, they may have to lose everything. DNF @ 16% - I dunno, I just found I didn't care about the characters. And things were purposely written vaguely "to make you wonder" I guess. I would have liked the characters to be introduced properly - like what happened to Dylan, or her parents? Might revisit this one in the future, but a DNF for now. Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I had a little bit of a hard time connecting with these characters (maybe because I was reading it during midterm week and was distracted?!). While I didn't mind picking it up at the end of the day I also didn't find myself thinking about it during the day as I do with books that truly captivate me. And then everything magically gets wrapped up in the last couple of pages and everything is happy. There was so much build-up in so many arcs and then it almost seemed like the author didn't know how to end it so it was just done, it was a little odd. It was a good read overall though. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
