This was told from a one person perspective of Lindsey. Lindsey is the good girl, the smart one, the rational one in the shadow of her beautiful twin sister. Lindsey loves her sister but acknowledges that they will never be truely close.
So Lindsey works her adult life trying to become the VP of her ad company. However that dream is crushed when the company slut sleeps her way to the position, then Lindsey gets caught with the company skeeze- ball and is fired for indecent behavior.
Now here I truely feel bad and sympathesize with Lindsey and you can see how her need to succeed drives away any close relationships beyond friendship like hers with the sarcastic yet adorable Matt.
Disheartened, Lindsey returns home to help with her sister, Alex’s (now a pro model) wedding to a politician. It’s a perfect wedding and who’s there too…Lindsey’s childhood crush, Bradley who is also in love with Alex.
Now here lies the conflict as Lindsey’s life tries to get back to normal by working in a matchmaking company and developing her own friendships; Lindsey becomes more frustrated to see how Bradly consistently clings to Alex despite how Lindsey knows more about him than her sister.
However a car accident reveals Alex’s more emotional side under her shallow surface when it turns out she has a tumor and . . there is a twist that shifts Lindsey’s perspective around once more. With all these relevations, Lindsey starts to reexamine her life, and where she fits in.
I think this was a very unique book as it shows one girl’s growth in terms of love and sisterhood and personal pride and very enjoyable. But also very slow in the beginning and middle half, and I wished that there were more of the sister interaaction instead of Lindsey jealously thinking about Alex for a good 2/3rds of the book. 3 stars.
