Zoe and Cassie are sisters separated by only one year, but vastly different. When Zoe convinces her vastly more talented sister to sing with her at a competition, they are discovered and rocket to stardom. Zoe is the face and Cassie the talent and it works until a man comes between them with disastrous consequences. When we open the book, the sisters haven’t spoken in years. Cassie has vanished to the Alaskan wilderness and Zoe is dealing with a teenage daughter who is too much like her. The past will come back when the daughter discovers she has an aunt and heads out to meet her.
I wanted to like the book and the story itself was good and well told. I just couldn’t get past the fact that every character in the book is just an awful person with no redemption. They just do horrible things to each other because they hate themselves. I would never let a younger girl read this because every woman in this book has no self confidence and uses everyone around them. There was a faint hope for redemption, but it just never seems to happen.
I received a free copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for this honest review.
