I loved this book! It was a really nice interpretation of The Parent Trap trope and the main characters were perfect.

The sisters were separated when they were 6 and 4, with Jamie living with their dad in Hollywood and Siri living with their mom in New Jersey. At no time did they see each other over the 14 years they were separated until they bump into each other at the retreat. The problem is, while Jamie knew right away who Siri was; Siri did not remember she had a sister as her mother convinced her that Jamie had been an imaginary friend.

Both sisters are complicated and flawed… just how I love characters!

Siri wears her fears and emotions on her sleeve, she is angry and bitter over both a betrayal from her ex- BFF and ex-boyfriend, and an injury that ends her ballet career. Her relationship with her mother is strained, she has no other friends and no idea what she is going to do with the rest of her life. Learning that not only is Jamie real, but that she has not contacted her in all this time is devastating to her.

Jamie, on the other hand, pretends that she is fine and doesn’t need anyone other than her BFF. She doesn’t do commitment, has a strained relationship with her dad, and has serious self-confidence issues when it comes to her comedy. Really though, she is carrying around so much hurt and insecurity, especially when she learns their mother told Siri she didn’t exist.

The sisters enjoy a rocky time getting to know each other and their opposite parents along the way, as well as falling in love. Nothing goes smoothly, but that’s how life works as well.
