Out of curiosity, are they identical twins? Sounds like a decent book despite the grammatical issues.
They are identical twins but have different personalities. I think you would enjoy it. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

It is always very sad to love someone and have them love another. I'm interested to seeing how Miranda reacts to the whole situation considering that she feels the need to protect Cindy. Great review.

Miranda has sacrificed her love to see her sister happy one keeping herself aloof. True love not only attracts someone but make a breach from dear one.

Latest Review: Make Me Tick by Nick Carr

Post by Camarathy21 »

Oh! dear Miranda, I really feel for her. Sacrificing one's happiness for the sake of another is a very rare thing to see these days but the author used the character of Miranda to show us how heroic it appears to do so. I'm a big fan of romantic noveld and this seems to be a great work. I'll definitely give it a try.

This is an amazing romantic thriller novel highlighting love, orphaned teens, sisterhood, jealousy, sacrifice, betrayal, and finding one's path. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.
