About this audiobook
'Absolutely delicious . . . Janelle Brown is a surgeon of the complex relationships between women. I gobbled this up'
Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of All Adults Here
'You won't be able to put this novel down and you won't want to'
Laura Dave, no. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me
'One of those books you'll devour'
Chris Bohjalian, New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant
'Janelle Brown has done it again. She has created a deliciously twisty page-turner you won't be able to put down'
Angie Kim, Edgar Award-winning author of Miracle Creek
'You be me, and I'll be you' I whispered.
As children, Sam and Elli were two halves of a perfect whole: gorgeous identical twins whose parents sometimes couldn't even tell them apart. And once Hollywood discovered them, they became B-list child TV stars, often inhabiting the same role.
But as adults, their lives have splintered. After leaving acting, Elli reinvented herself as the perfect homemaker: married to a real estate lawyer, living in a house just blocks from the beach. Meanwhile, Sam has never recovered from her failed Hollywood career, or from her addiction to the pills and booze that have propped her up for the last fifteen years.
Sam hasn't spoken to her sister since her destructive behavior finally drove a wedge between them. So when her father calls out of the blue, Sam is shocked to learn that Elli's life has been in turmoil: her husband moved out, and Elli just adopted a two-year-old girl. Now she's stopped answering her phone and checked in to a mysterious spa in Ojai. Is her sister just decompressing, or is she in trouble? Could she have possibly joined a cult? As Sam works to connect the dots left by Elli's baffling disappearance, she realizes that the bond between her and her sister is more complicated than she ever knew.
