THE GUILTY SISTER by Arianne Richmonde

 

My sister is missing. And the police think I’m to blame.

We haven’t always seen eye to eye, but I do love my sister Cece. She’s confident and free-spirited in a way I never am. And while she’s living her life to the full and posting it all over social media, I’m having early nights in my tiny New York apartment.

I didn’t mean to keep her a secret from my boyfriend, Bradley. But when he found out about her and I caught him scrolling through her pictures online, I knew I had to act before she ruined my life once again.

When the police come knocking at my door, I instantly regret wishing Cece would leave my life for good.

I didn’t want her to vanish forever,did I?

If you enjoy gripping psychological thrillers like The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us, you will love this totally addictive novel from a USA Today bestselling author.

MY THOUGHTS

This book is very good. It has lots of twists and a few surprises along the way. It's well written and makes you wonder what is going on? Who can you trust? 

Twins, Sara and Cece, are mirror images of each other. They are identical to the point that not even their own parents could tell them apart. The only difference being a small mole on Cece's cheek. They were so alike and so in-tune to each other that they had their own language. They were so alike, but also so different. One being very outgoing. A party girl. The other shy and more of a bookworm. 

These girls were raised by parents who did work in other countries helping people. They were doctors. They were from Switzerland but living and working in Africa most of the time. The twins were born in New York. In the USA. That is where the story takes place. New York. Sara's story for the most part. She's trying to distance herself from Cece. Move on and make a life. Cece did something that hurt Sara very bad. 

Sara meets Bradley in the park while taking her dog, Poppy out for her walk and playtime. Poppy is a rescue who was hit by a car and left. Sara took her to the vet and now loves her dearly. Poppy uses a pup wheelchair to move her back part. She may one day walk again. If Sara has anything to do with it she will. Bradley sees Sara in the park and is instantly attracted to her. He's dressed to the nines and reeks of money. From his three piece suits with expensive ties to the watch he wears. They become great friends and go out on a few dates. But both have deep secrets. They learn things about each other that just didn't add up. Bradley is a bit of a mystery. He definitely has a lot to hide. 

This book is told from a few POVs. Mainly Sara and Bradley but also Mrs Scott and her son Jack. Mrs Scott pupsits for Poppy when Sara has things to do where she can't take her with her. Mrs Scott and Jack have a few secrets of their own. Some I sure didn't see coming. 

Sara and Cece's parents were killed in a car wreck ten years prior. You will find out about that and how it happened too. A lot of things are going on but it's easy to follow. 

I have to admit that I figured out one big plot theme pretty early on. It did not take away from the story in any way though. I kept turning the pages to find out what exactly was going on and who exactly did what. The ending reveals a shocker for sure. I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read for me. One I just couldn't put down.

Thank you #NetGalley, #ArianneRichmonde, #Bookouture for this ARC. This is my own true feelings about this book.

4/5 stars, lost one because I did figure it out. I do recommend it though. It's very good. You won't be sorry.
