Wider Than the Sky by Katherine Rothschild
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this Arc in return for an honest review.
The life that Sabine and her twin sister Blythe knew and loved changed in the same week that her father suddenly dies, a stranger turns up at the hospital and the up and move to a dilapidated mansion in a new town with the stranger. Trying to make sense of it all both Sabine and Blythe try and fail to find out what is going on but neither their mum or the stranger Charlie are talking.
During the move Sabine meets the local mover Kai and quickly develops more than a crush on him, but he is taken by another local Emma, or is he. Sabine and Emma become fast friends as they share a love of fashion and Emma warns Sabine off Kai but Sabine cannot help her feelings for Kai and cannot help but feel jealous of Emma every time she sees her and Kai together.
There is something happening with the house, their mum and Charlie and because the adults are not talking Sabine and Blythe decide to so their own snooping to find out what is going on. But neither girls are ready to face the secrets that have been kept from them all their lives and just how much of an impact it will have on not only them but those around them.
I really enjoyed this book and went from liking to not liking and back to liking Sabine as she works her way through her fears, emotions and relationships and fixes the chaos she created. Kai annoyed me as he played with both Emma and Sabine's emotions, maybe not intentionally but it still created hurt and angst between the two girls.
Overall a really good story that is a quick and easy read
