A review by bookworm_mommy
The Opposite of Me by Sarah Pekkanen

This is potentially the best book I�ve read this summer�or in awhile. Not bad for Sarah Pekkanen�s new book. \nEngaging\n Funny\n Entertaining\n Thought-provoking\nLindsey and her fraternal twin sister, Alex, have always had clearly defined roles in their family, friends, and life. Alex is the beautiful sister and has focused on being the center of attention, sculpting her life and career around her looks and appeal.\nMeanwhile, Lindsey is the smart, successful sister. She has a skyrocketing career in advertising and lives for her work. \nThen her whole world implodes over night. And she left not certain who she is and where to go. Returning home seems the only option. But that means returning to life in Alex�s shadow. However, Alex is about to endure life changes of her own.\nThe sisters learn together how to cope and to begin to discover who they truly are.\nLOVED this book. It was hard to put down. The characters were engaging. The story line wasn�t completely predictable � it was at a comforting level. And, having a sister of my own (who has always been both the �pretty� and the �smart� one), I could relate. Although I�m glad my sister and I each found our own identities apart from what others said about each of us sooner than Lindsey and Alex did.\nI recommend reading this one for sure.\n
