Review: THE BETTER SISTER by Alafair Burke


One woman seemed to have it all—perfect career, perfect husband, perfect life. That was Chloe. Still, could her online followers be right? Was she more concerned with image than reality?

The first few chapters kick-off to a slow, unappealing start as they talk about the woman’s work routine. Details were too monochromatic and political. That fancy party was so boring. By chapter 4, we start getting a little backstory on her marriage to her former brother-in-law, who left her sister and took her son. Sounds complicated.

Very slow. Very unimpressive. This author wrote with the famous Mary Higgins Clark, right? You’d think she’d pick up some good pointers from her. Like how to write a story that’s not so boring.

Forget the better sister. Where’s the better story?

Rating: 2 stars
