A review by saarahnina
The Other Sister by Rowan Coleman
5.0
Loved the story
This book has the power to shock you to the very core. There were so many unpredictable twists and turns. A spontaneous kind of humorous love story. But, really it's a book of its own unique genre: there is romance, comedy, family love and right in the middle: the aim to just be happy with what you have.
Willow and Holly, twins, alike in every way except body shape. Willow is ashamed for her 'fat' body, she feels undesirable, and undeserving of love. That quickly changes when a pair of shoes walk into her life, and soon she has a chance to make up for her terrible past, she has an opportunity to seek forgiveness.
Note, that my above synopsis is heavily condensed. I've left out all the gems that make this such an awesome read. This book will definitely garner smiles, muffled, barely contained laughter and an all-round fuzzy feeling you get after drinking a cup of warm tea (or your preferred beverage.) This book was definitely a favourite for me, I loved the idea of fate, coincidence, second chances, redemption. All in all, a lovely book. There's also a significant love triangle thrown into the mix- usually I'm not a huge fan of these since they are so rare in real life but, with Rowan Coleman's writing it actually seemed possible. I will definitely keep an eye out for Rowan's future books.
I received this book through NetGalley.
