The Good Sister by Rachael Stewart
3.0
The Good Sister is a story that seems like it would be every girl's fantasy: Becoming someone else and having a hot celebrity fall for you. Well, that's totally one of my fantasies, if I'm being honest. lol
Anyway, we have somewhat shy, somewhat quiet and modest Isla, who agrees to switch places with her twin sister, who is the exact opposite: a rising star who loves high-class everything.
Only problem is, sis has a fiance - Bradley - who also happens to be Isla's celeb crush. What's a girl to do when she wakes up one morning with this hunky man in her bed? Well...I'm not going to tell you what happens, since that would spoil things.
I found the character of Isla to be both endearing and, at times, a bit wishy-washy. Like, she's super sweet and helpful towards Bradley's sister, but other times she has these moments where you just want to scream at her and tell her to make up her mind.
I wasn't fond of Bradley at first, but he sort of grew on me, as did Isla's sister (whose name slips my mind right now as I type this). They were likeable enough characters.
I think the only character I sort of disliked was Bradley's mom, but that's only because she was one of those rich, hoity-toity people I don't like anyway.
The story was a relatively quick read that held my attention, although there were times I grew a little bored with it. Nothing against the author and her writing, but there were a couple of times where I wanted a little less "sexy times" and a little more "hopeless romantic" moments, if that makes sense.
Overall, though, The Good Sister is a fun, quick read with a HEA, and I did like it.
I give the story 3.5 stars.
