smashmo 's review for:
The Other Daughter
by Lauren Willig
*2.5/5
I'll admit that I didn't have high hopes for this book going in after reading the synopsis for it. What led me to pick it up in that case I'm not entirely sure, but my expectations were nicely exceeded somewhat.
I didn't really get into this book until about half way through, which is kind of a long time for a book to peak ones interest. I didn't really believe Rachel was as humble as she claimed she was and I often eye-rolled at many of her thoughts and interactions.
The 2nd half of the book picked up pace and I enjoyed getting some more depth to a few of the side characters but it was unfortunate that as soon as we got it, they were whisked away never to be heard from again. Still some eye-rolling, but not as much. And the couple of minor twists were slightly surprising so kudos to the author.
Overall, not the worst thing I've read but definitely won't be holding on to my copy for forever.
