Sister of Mine by Laurie Petrou is a thriller that follows sisters Penny and Hatty who are bound together by the secrets of their troubled pasts that they can’t escape or let anyone know about. I was unimpressed with this novel. The premise sounded interesting, but it did not read as a thriller or a mystery at all. By a quarter of the way through the novel, I wanted to put this book down, but I kept reading so I could give a fair review. The twists were very predictable. All the characters lacked depth and I couldn’t sympathize any of them. The writing style was easy to read, but for the whole time, I was just rushing so I could read my next novel. This book ended up being unmemorable. I would recommend skipping reading this book.

This book was such a pleasant surprise for me. All the main characters are awful but it's still such a page turner! I cannot believe this doesn't have a higher rating. 

It's unique, well written, and above all unhinged.

Penny and Hattie, two sisters whose love/hate for each other is reflected in every relationship, every aspect of their lives. Intricately woven and suspenseful tale. I loved it.
