The best things in life . . . can be just around the corne
Rachel and Becca aren't real sisters, or so they say. They are stepsisters, living far apart, with little in common. Rachel is the successful one: happily married with three children and a big house, plus an impressive career. Artistic Becca, meanwhile, lurches from one dead-end job to another, shares a titchy flat, and has given up on love.
The two of them have lost touch, but when Rachel doesn't come home one night, Becca is called in to help.
Once there, she quickly realizes that her stepsister's life is not so perfect after all: Rachel's handsome husband
has moved out, her children are rebelling, and her glamorous career has taken a nosedive. Worst of all,
nobody seems to have a clue where she might be.
As Becca begins to untangle Rachel's secrets, she is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about
her own life, and the future seems uncertain.
But sometimes happiness can be found in the most unexpected places . . .

When going into this book i didn't know what to expect, but i was genuinely shocked at how much i loved it and how different it was. The story was in my opinion Unique i haven't read anything like it, it centres around a broken family and healing and friendship, companion ship and a little bit of romance added in there as well.

The two main characters couldn't be more different Step Sisters, Rachel is a lot older and supposedly has it all, amazing job, amazing family, amazing husband but nothing is ever as it seems and Becca is the complete opposite lives in a small flat no romance no family and no job. But when her sister goes missing someone needs to look after her 3 children and since Becca and Rachel don't get along it is a lot of drama but you see them grow as characters in a book a also as people because you can connect them with people in your life because both of them are so relatable. 
The other characters in this bring it to life from the minor characters to some of the other main characters they just made the book and brought some lightness and some drama as well.

The story is one i personally haven't read before its about one sister thinking there has been a betrayal and the other thinking the other one hates her because her she didn't want to share her dad, it was a true journey and it is one of those books that will stay with me because it is a good book about family and love. I honestly recommend this book because of it writing and the way it written every page held me and i loved every minute of reading this book from start to finish, it is a brilliant book and i loved it, and i really want to read more of Lucy Diamonds books.

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
