Faking It

Faking It

Portia MacIntosh

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The perfect house, the perfect husband and the perfect life... or is she just faking it? Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster for Ella. Growing up as the 'less successful' identical twin to her 'perfectly successful' sister, Emma, has left her feeling isolated, inadequate and let's face it.. a little bitter. When Emma unexpectedly reaches out to Ella in a time of need, Ella suddenly finds herself with the opportunity to fill in for her sister and experience how the other half live. But as Ella navigates the world of gossiping mothers, rebellious teens and trying to play the model housewife (not to mention avoiding the temptation of attractive men at the school gates...) will she discover that all is not always as it seems on the other side?

    I did enjoy this, but I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as the previous 3 I’ve read.
    Ella and Emma are very much polar opposites of each other, despite being twins. So when Ella is asked to fill in as Emma while she’s away for 6 weeks, obviously things don’t go as smoothly as expected.
    Ella annoyed me a little bit in the beginning, instead of just sticking to what she knew would make people believe she was her sister, she was always trying to make it her own. There were little things she did that just annoyed me.
    Nonetheless, this was a sweet story.

    This was book 4 of my binge of Portia MacIntosh. Bring on the 5th book!

    **I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
    Twin switch books tend to frustrate me. My best friends growing up are twins. If they couldn’t trick me, I have trouble believing a husband and children could be fooled.
    It was a quick, easy read but I just could not believe the premise.
