About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
When it comes to genes life's a lottery....
As Abi knows - she's spent her life in the shadow of her beautiful, glamorous older sister Cleo. Headhunted as model when she was 16, Cleo has been all but lost to Abi for the last 20 years. So when Abi is invited to spend the summer in Cleo's large London home with her perfect family, she agrees despite serious misgivings. But maybe Cleo is finally as keen as Abi to regain the closeness they shared in their youth?
Abi is in for a shock. Soon she's left caring for her two young, spoilt nieces and handsome, unhappy brother-in-law, while Cleo plainly has other things on her mind. As Abi moves into her sister's life, a cuckoo in the nest, she wrestles with uncomfortable feelings.
Could having beauty, wealth and fame lead to more unhappiness than not having them? Who in the family really is the ugly sister?

Felt like it ended abruptly - disappointing ending

The narrator is great
But I feel robbed and let down!!!!!
Sure- we can ‘write our own’ imagined end to this love triangle - and it may be trendy for the author to steer away from a neat ‘Hollywood ‘ story- BUT- for a relaxing, entertaining audiobook this is is not good enough
Try again Jane Fallon!
Abrupt ‘non ending’ spoils good story

The narrator was the main issue. All the way through (well, as far in as a few chapters anyway, because I just couldn't finish it...) she sounded so bored reading this and as if she really couldn't be bothered. The story told in a continuous 'sing-song' tone was very irritating and I couldn't concentrate, or get into the actual plot or unfolding of events.
The characters' names sounded like they were from an Enid Blyton book, and everything was awfully upper middle class British. Maybe I'll just avoid anything narrated by Joanna Bobin in future, as I don't want to be put off Jane Fallon's books!
Disappointing.
