The Half Sister by Sandie Jones
3.0

I loved The Other Woman by Sandie although I’m yet to pick up The First Mistake I was still excited to pick this up.
I’ll admit this did take a few chapters to get me. But my overall reading mood hasn’t been the best recently so that probably played a part in this feeling.
After taking a few days off reading I decided to pick this back up. For the most part I still struggled to be gripped. Which makes me wonder if it was the book or my reading mood. I just found myself waiting for something to happen to really grip me. Which would happen in the last 30% of the book.
I found myself trying to figure out the truth. It felt like every time I thought I knew the theory would be proven wrong the next chapter. So I was always guessing.
I didn’t like the ending. Just because it left some questions and things unresolved. Sometimes that works for me but this was a case where I needed some more closure.
Overall I felt like maybe this book had too many things happening. Sure majority linked with the main story. But when I was struggling to be gripped it didn’t help.
Also I hate Simon. Man is trash.
