A little bit of a slow start introducing the characters however after this a great story that made you laugh and cry with unexpected twists. Each characters perspective was portrayed so well.

Interesting story told beautifully. As someone who lives in a different country to which they grew up, it brought tears to my eyes in parts.

Story
Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions - grief, loss, and anger - that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie.

It’s not often that you get a story that is full of heartbreak, twists and turns but at the same time lifts you and makes you believe in the good without boring you with the mundane. Didn’t want it to end.
