Synopsis: Beauty. Wealth. Success.

She’s got it all.

And it all should’ve been mine.

When Eleanor Hardwicke’s beloved father dies, her world is further shattered by a gut-wrenching secret: the man she’s grieving isn’t really her dad. Eleanor was the product of an affair and her biological father is still out there, living blissfully with the family he chose. With her personal life spiraling, a desperate Eleanor seeks him out, leading her to uncover another branch on her family tree—an infuriatingly enviable half sister.

Perfectly perfect Victoria has everything Eleanor could ever dream of. Loving childhood, luxury home, devoted husband. All of it stolen from Eleanor, who plans to take it back. After all, good sisters are supposed to share. And quiet little Eleanor has been waiting far too long for her turn to play.

Review: I had to DNF this book about 42% through it. The book is entirely through the eyes of the main character who has a lot of self esteem issues and its exhausting being in her brain for 400ish pages. It made me really upset to read about her self doubt and other issues and kinda made me start thinking the same things about myself, which wasn’t great for my mental health. The book also wasn’t what I thought it would be, which was disappointing, and the plot of the book isn’t that intriguing in my opinion. The book also isn’t suspenseful and what I thought would happen didn’t at all. The rest of the characters are also very bland and not exciting at all.

Verdict: It wasn’t for me.
