Description
Who better to mend a broken heart than your sister?
When Daisy’s dad married Sage's mum, Daisy was thrilled to get a new sister. Except Sage was beautiful and popular, everything Daisy was not, and she made sure Daisy knew it.
Sage found herself living in a palatial home where she felt she didn't belong. She didn't have her new sister’s intelligence so she used her popularity as a weapon, putting Daisy down at every opportunity. After the divorce, the stepsisters' rivalry continued until the final straw: Daisy married Sage's first love, and Sage fled to Europe.
Eighteen years later, Daisy never expects—or wants—to see Sage again. But brought together by an accident involving the little sister they have in common they must learn to put aside their differences. Slowly, the stepsisters begin to view the past through one another's eyes and long buried feelings are revealed. Until their fragile truce is threatened by one careless act that could have devastating consequences….

I absolutely loved this book, it is a fantastic chick-lit-esque read with a blended family and a bit of Romance. I think that it will make the perfect summer read ☀️
The characters each have a lot to contend with and carry a lot of past and present baggage. I love how they have a difficult relationship because of the past and yet they have to come together to help one another.
Families are sometimes difficult and I think this book portrays that very well, but also sensitively.
I haven’t read anything by Susan Mallery before, I am so glad this was my first but it sets the bar high for any others!!! The writing is easy to read, there is an underlying wit throughout which I really enjoyed.
I definitely recommend this book, it will be perfect in the Garden or on the Beach with a cocktail 🍹

I fully enjoyed this book from start to finish. The complexity of love and relationships and how they interweave and interconnect can be empowering and destructive.
There is no love lost between stepsisters Daisy and Sage. they havent spoken in years, their half sister Cassidy is closest to Sage and really doesn't like Daisy.
Out of the blue Daisy and Cassidy's dad arranges for Cass to stay with Daisy whilst she recovers from falling off a cliff.
None of the sisters are happy with this.
Daisy's marriage to Jordan is also hanging in the balance. Their two children Ben and Krissa bond with their Aunts and learn to accept the circumstances as they are.
Esmeralda the house keeper is Daisy's rock whilst all of this is going on.
I love how the sisters have to thrash out their relationships with each other and the men in their lives.
Can they put their differences aside? Does love conquer all.? Is letting go the right option?
It's got all angles covered. Made me think about my relationships too. We all need an Adam in our lives.

My Review
I love all Susan Mallery books I’ve read quite a few and this one my favourite. I felt so invested in the characters and the story I know what it’s like to have a stepsister my self and when you not close mine lived in Canada so I don’t get to see her much only when she comes home every other year. I loved the sister chemistry such a emotional read for me I enjoyed this book so much teachers you about family love and sisters x every one going to love this one.
