Lexie was a
shy, chubby child that loved to read and adored her big sister, Monica. Monica
had always wanted a little sister, but then got more than she bargained for
with Lexie.
Always the “freak,”
Lexie didn’t quite fit in with the normal crowd and her mother was hardest on
her most. Monica was always the popular one with many friends and respect, so
she instilled the fear in others to stop picking on little Lexie, even though
that only alienated her even more.
Told in the
POV of Lexie and Monica, story follows two sisters that couldn’t be more
different—“two sides to a coin”—but yet were always a part of each other. Life
takes them through grueling obstacles as the two grow into adulthood, which
include marriage to a controlling spouse and the death of their parents. Is it
any wonder why they snapped? But no matter what, you feel for the girls right
away and are endeared by their unbreakable bond.
“Our Prince
Charmings had never arrived and the Evil Queen was too powerful after all.”
Lexie and
Monica are two women scorned, but it was most interesting how each handled it
in a different way. Monica would focus on her children and Lexie would just sit
and cry. Things take a sinister turn when scorn leads to murder, and the
sisters are put through a taxing trial. You won’t believe the ending of this
emotionally charged novel.
Simply a
scintillating read!
My rating: 4 stars
