Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano

3.0

I enjoyed Hello beautiful! It's a stunning love story between sisters, and it’s one between Julie and Sylvie mostly. I just don’t understand why Sylvie couldn’t bring herself to tell Julie herself or to try and get her to understand about William. And with all this faff about the sister’s love for each other, I just didn’t believe in Sylvie and William’s love for each other. It didn’t read big enough to be the rift that destroys this close knit family. And Sylvie just picking William over her sister - it just wasn’t believable that she wouldn’t even try to explain to Julie??? I read a review that the twins were indistinguishable from eachother and I agree! Maybe I would have liked if more time was spent with them too! Also William being abandoned by his parents but there being no real explanation or exploration of his childhood or any interaction with his parents??? Like im not saying its not believable but a more deeper look into his family life would have been great to understand him and his depression more! I will read her other book dear edward tho!
