My Double Life
by Janette Rallison
4.5 stars
This was my first time reading a Janette Rallison book and I was very impressed with her writing. She turned what could have been a cliché plot into something different and deeper. I think I'll definitely have to try another book of hers in the future.
Alexis Garcia comes from a poor background, with a caring mother and no-nonsense grandmother (who was hilarious and amazing, the kind of grandmother you usually see in young-adult books, I've noticed). Alexis also looks almost identical to pop-star Kari Kingsley. This is because, as she later discovers, she is Kari's half-sister. Alexis had always wanted to meet her father (having heard nothing about him growing up) and so when Kari's manager rings up, asking if she'll be Kari's double, Alexis agrees on the terms that she'll be able to meet Alex Kingsley, her famous father, and spend time with her half-sister Kari.
It was a sweet story, focusing specifically on family bonds and ties. There is also romance when Alexis meets Grant, another famous singer. Problem is, he thinks she's Kari and so a lot of funny situations develop. I was really impressed by the writing. It was a nice, light read that I thoroughly enjoyed :)
