Her Perfect Twin by Sarah Bonner published by Hodder & Stoughton

 


What a way to start the New Year! You will open the pages of this book and instantly you will be drawn into the dysfunctional story of identical twins Leah and Megan. Also thrown into the mix, is Megan's coercive husband Chris - it's safe to say that these three characters all have "issues"-  these are not people you want to live next door to!

 

I don't want to say too much about the plot as I want everyone to experience it for themselves, but it's safe to say that it has more twists and turns than an Alton Tower's rollercoaster.

 

Sarah Bonner gets into your head and completely messes with it! The book is split into several parts, and each part is told by a different character - when each character told their version of events I truly believed what they were saying and so my opinion was constantly changing, and just when I thought I had figured out who did what...BOOM! Another twist!

 

My first book of the New Year, and to be honest, I don't know how any other books are going to compete with it!

In this book we hear the intertwined stories of four generations of women all from one family. Grace is fast approaching her 90th birthday and is very much the doyen of the group. Alys, her daughter has lived a troubled, complicated life which impacted on her daughter Erin, who now in her 40s has regained the control of adulthood that she never had as a child. Finally, teenager Beca, Erins daughter, is a breathe of fresh air who knows what she wants from life, and it differs greatly from the life her Mum wants for her! Four strong women who have faced different life hurdles but who all share the same DNA! I have read all of Ruth Jones' novels so far and this one is by far the best! It's as entertaining and enthralling as the others, but just has a certain magic ingredient that for me, makes it stand outfrom the rest! Each of the chapters tells a bit of the story seen through the eyes of one of the four women, which to begin with I found quite confusing as I had to remember thei...
